A huge bomb weighing some 20 kilograms was triggered by Thai southern insurgents in Narathiwat Province on Thursday morning, injuring six soldiers, local police said. The bomb, planted beside a main road in Cho Ai Rong district of Narathiwat, was triggered through a 50-meter-long wire. The insurgents hidden aside exploded the bomb while a military vehicle was passing the spot.
The blast left a two-meter-wide hole on the road and six soldiers were injured, a local police source was quoted by the FM 100 Traffic Radio as saying. Soon after the bomb attack, the military and the insurgents exchanged fire for five minutes.
