Bomb attack in southern Thailand wounds 11
Eleven people including a patrol police and a volunteer were wounded Thursday morning when insurgents detonated a bomb at a market in Yala province.
Police said the five-kilogramme bomb was hidden at a butcher's shop at Pimolchai market. It went off at around 6.30 a.m. as villagers were shopping for goods. The blast left a 50-centimetre-wide and 80-metre-deep hole, they said.
In a separate incident, a bomb disposal squad removed an explosive from in front of a Mazda car showroom at around the same time as the first bomb went off. Local residents alerted the ordnance team that they had found a suspicious object on in a public phone booth on Jongrak Road. The car showroom was located close to another market in the district.
