Three policemen killed in southern Thailand
2013-03-16
A roadside bomb in Narathiwat's Rusoh district Friday killed three policemen, including a much-decorated senior officer, and seriously injured three others when it detonated as their vehicle was passing.

The massive bomb, consisting of 90 kilograms of explosives, left a three-meter-wide, two-meter-deep crater in the bridge where it was planted and sent the officers' vehicle flying several meters away. The six occupants were traveling in their jurisdiction in Rusoh district on administrative duty.

The three fallen officers were Pol Lt-Colonel Jakkrit Wongphrommes, Pol Sergeant Piya Phoophanwer and Pol Corporal Suwes Jantharangsee. Jakkrit, 49, was known to have devoted himself to peace building and was instrumental in the suppression of terrorists' insurgents' activities, foiling several attacks.
