| 2010-01-05 |
| A homemade bomb detonated by suspected separatists in Thailand's southern province of Yala has seriously injured three soldiers and wounded three villagers, national media report. The soldiers were part of a patrol and were riding in a pickup truck passing in front of a school in the province's Bannang Sata district when the roadside bomb went off, police said. The attack was blamed on separatist militants, a report in the Bangkok Post said. The attack comes only days after another fatal separatist attack in which two villagers were killed in a drive-by shooting. In Yala's Krong Penang district, the victims, in their 30s, were riding their motorcycle home when they were shot by a man, also riding on a motorcycle, witnesses said. |
