| Officials in the southern border provinces of Thailand are on high alert around the clock as the ten year anniversary of the Krue Se Mosque incident rolls past. Yala Provincial Police Commander Songkiat Wathakun ordered thorough monitoring for suspected vehicles passing through checkpoints in each district. Security officials were keeping watch against all types of ambushes, and rapid response units were also made ready for tackling violent incidents that might occur on April 28, the 10th anniversary of the Krue Se incident. In Songkhla province, security guards posted at hotels and department stores have also intensified searches for suspected vehicles. Photographs of around 10 cars reported stolen which could potentially be used as car bombs have also been posted at all security checkpoints. |
