| Thailand's army will heighten security measures in the aftermath of several bomb explosions which targeted business areas in Narathiwat’s Sungai Kolok municipality on Sunday. Fourth Army Commander Lt Gen Walit Rojanaphakdi called a meeting with internal security officials yesterday at the district office to improve security plans after a total of eight bombs exploded in the business district. Narathiwat provincial police commander Pol Maj Gen Pattanawut Ungkanavin said evidence indicated that the attacks were carried out by the same group and had been well prepared. Police had several suspects and expect to obtain arrest warrants soon. The latest two explosions took place early yesterday morning, causing fires at two grocery stores in the town. Narathiwat and Yala provinces had earlier been rocked by a series of bombings and militant attacks on Sunday night, which killed at least one person and wounded ten others. |
