Jihadis strike karaoke lounges in southern Thailand
Six people, including two police officers and four civilians, were wounded as bomb explosions tore through two karaoke lounges in a hotbed of the Muslim insurgency in southern Thailand, police said Sunday. The homemade bombs exploded within minutes of each other Saturday night at lounges in Tak Bai district of Narathiwat province, scene of an anti-government rally two years ago in which 85 Muslim protesters died at the hands of security forces, said police Lt. Thepsin Sahadhud. Police rushed to the scenes of the explosions when another homemade bomb planted on the roadside exploded, Thepsin said. "The third bomb was apparently targeted at police, but fortunately no one was injured from the third bomb," he said. One bomb was hidden under a sofa in the James Bond lounge, In a separate incident late Saturday, Doming Mudo, 45, a local administration official, was shot dead in Pattani province, said police Col. Somchit Nasomyon. Posted by: ryuge 2006-11-05 |
