| Two security personnel were killed and three others injured in two separate roadside bomb attacks in Yala and Narathiwat provinces yesterday. In Yala's Kabang district, a seven-man special operations team on four motorcycles was hit before noon while escorting teachers. Lance Corporal Sarawuth Choothanom was pronounced dead at a hospital, while the patrol leader was sent to a hospital/ In Narathiwat's Muang district, a military transport truck carrying three Army paramilitary rangers was targeted by bomb fastened to a motorcyle parked by a main road. The blast killed one, who was pronounced dead at a hospital, and injured the other two soldiers. The truck was transporting several barrels full of gasoline, but the blast did not ignite any of the barrels. Police said that insurgents stole the motorcycle used in the attack from a 62-year-old woman on Tuesday after gunning her down and then repainting the bike blue. |
