Bomb injures six in southern Thailand
Three volunteer rangers and three local residents, including two children, were slightly injured in an explosion in Yala's Muang district early Sunday morning. While six rangers were traveling in a pickup truck on a local road to buy food in the town, a bomb was set off. The blast damaged the pick-up truck and wounded three rangers and three bystanders. In Pattani, a placard warning of revenge against government officials was found on a road Sunday. A patrol team found a message on the Yala-Pattani road. It read, "As long as state authorities arrest our innocent people, it is time for revenge attacks." The security team were patroling the area following Saturday's bombing in which an army colonel was killed and five other soldiers injured. In Narathiwat province, a 50-man military and police force laid siege to a house in Rueso district and arrested a former Islamic teacher suspected of involvement in a violent attack. Wae-aseng Nilubi, a former religious teacher at a private school in Raman district, was taken into custody. He is suspected of being a member of a separatist group under Abdul Roheng Da-eso, alias Pele. He is also thought to be an informant reporting the movements of government forces to the Runda Kumpalan Kecil (RKK) separatist movement and providing shelter for RKK members.
