Six killed in two bombings in southern Thailand
2009-12-19
Suspected Muslim terrorists insurgents blew up a gas tank near a school in southern Thailand on Saturday, killing three Buddhist villagers and wounding two including a local leader, police said.

The blast appeared intended for a senior official of Bajao district in Narathiwat, one of Thailand's three southernmost provinces plagued by insurgent violence as ethnic Malay Muslims fight for autonomy from Thailand's Buddhist majority. "The bomb was planted near a school. The insurgents detonated it to attack the officials," police Colonel Jamlong Ngamnetara told Reuters. The three people killed had volunteered to provide security for the official as he traveled in a pickup truck, he said.

And:

Three military rangers were killed while a fourth and a local government official were critically wounded in a bomb attack in Thailand's restive south, officials said Saturday.

Suspected separatist terrorists insurgents detonated the bomb packed with around 20 kilos (45 pounds) of explosives in the middle of a road in the Bacho district of troubled Narathiwat province, a military official said.

The four rangers were on patrol with a district chief assistant when the explosion hit their pick-up truck, leaving a huge crater in the road, he said. Three of the rangers were killed immediately while the fourth and the local official were taken to hospital in a critical condition, he added.
