Thai policeman loses leg in bombing
A bomb attack in Yala province injured two police sergeants and three local residents on Tuesday. The blast amputated Pol Sgt Wutthinan Chan-orn's leg and injured Pol Sgt Homhuan Polcha in the head and left leg, as well as two others local residents. All were rushed to a nearby hospital.
Early police investigations showed that terrorists insurgents hid explosives close to an electricity pole on a road in Muang district and triggered them in order to lure security officers to investigate. The first attack took place at about 1 a.m.
The wounded police were part of the investigative team collecting evidence after the first attack. They were sitting in a bus stop shelter when the second bomb went off.
