| Attacks in southern Thailand leave seven injured |

| [Bangkok Post] Seven people were hurt on Thursday in unrelated attacks in two provinces in southern Thailand. In Narathiwat, six rangers were wounded when a roadside bomb exploded this afternoon. Members of the 11th Rangers Regiment were returning to their base in Waeng district when a home-made bomb about 20 meters away detonated. Earlier in Yala, a security guard was shot and seriously injured in a daylight attack at a school-guard booth in Yaha district. Abrohem Masae and two other security volunteers were on guard when the attack occurred. A truck with four men on board stopped in front of the booth near the school's fence. They pretended to ask for directions, causing Mr Abrohem to leave the booth. After he did so, one of the men drew a gun and fired. The attack caused Mr Abrohem's fellow security guards to exit the booth and return fire, but their rifles jammed. They immediately ran into the school. The assailants fired at them from their truck. Students panicked amid the hail of bullets, but escaped unharmed. |
