Roadside bomb severely injures two Thai soldiers
Two soldiers were severely wounded when Muslim terrorists insurgents detonated a improvised bomb hidden inside a motorcycle to ambush a patrol unit in Pattani province on Monday morning. The blast occurred at 9 a.m, in Sai Buri district.

Pvt Mayaki Yusoh, 25, and Pvt Thirapong Assaro, 22, were severely wounded, with bomb shrapnel becoming embedded in their faces and bodies.

Police said the terrorists insurgents used a wireless remote control to detonate the bomb as eight soldiers on four motorcycles rode past the spot as part of their teacher protection duties. The rest of the unit escaped without injury.

Police said the terrorists insurgents hid the bomb under the saddle of the motorcycle, which did not have a license plate. The motorcycle was stolen from a police sergeant and his son, who were killed by terrorists insurgents in Sai Buri district on January 17.

Meanwhile, in Yarang district, an unknown number of terrorists insurgents set fire to the office of the Rawaeng subdistrict Tambon Administration Organisation, completely destroying it.

On Sunday, security officials stepped up security measures in Narathiwat province following a tip-off of a new possible assault by the Runda Kumpulan Kecil (RKK) within the next few days.

Regarding the attacks on two military outposts in Bacho district on the night of March 8, which left 12 soldiers injured, Pol Maj Gen Choti Chavarnwiwat on Sunday called a meeting with Bacho police investigators.

The initial investigation has revealed that the attackers are a new group of young people recruited from four districts of Narathiwat by Maroso Chantharavadee, a suspected RKK leader.

About 50 well-armed men divided into three groups attacked the two military outposts with grenade launchers and gunfire. The third group cut down trees to block the roads and also felled three electric poles to cut power at the targeted locations.
