Roadside bomb injures family of four in southern Thailand
Four people in one family, including two children, were injured Sunday when an explosive device planted on a roadside exploded. A bomb squad rushed to the scene and sent the wounded to a nearby hospital.
The victims are Abdulraso Duramae, 38, and his wife Aharo Duramae, 35, as well as their two boys aged 7 and 3.
The incident took place while they were on a motorcycle following a military pickup truck which apparently was the target of the roadside bomb, but the army vehicle passed through shortly before the bomb was detonated.
The soldiers were not injured and their vehicle was not damaged, but the family on their motorcycle was hit by shrapnel from the blast, which also knocked down a large tree which blocked the road.
