Terrorists kill three in southern Thailand
Suspected terrorists separatists killed three people and injured five others in attacks Wednesday, coming on the heels of the fourth anniversary of the Thai military's attack on a sacred mosque in Pattani, once an independent Islamic sultanate. In the first incident, unknown assailants attacked a ten-wheel truck in Saiburi district, Pattani, killing its driver and injuring a second man, at 9:10 am.
At 1:40 pm a bomb was detonated under an army truck in Yarang district, Pattani, about 750 kilometres south of Bangkok, killing two soldiers and injuring two others. Two civilians were also injured in the road blast. "We think the attacks were designed to create turmoil after the anniversary of the attack on Krue Se Mosque," said Saiburi Police Lieutenant Colonel Sakaliya Usoe.
