Attack suspects rounded up in southern Thailand
 [The Nation] Three suspects were arrested yesterday on suspicion that they hijacked a pickup truck, stuffed it with explosives, and forced its owner to drive it into Yala town for a car-bomb attack.The plot - thwarted by the victim and swift response by security forces on Tuesday - could have caused massive casualties. Police and soldiers staged a pre-dawn raid yesterday to make the arrests. The suspects are Sanafee Jehteh, Marorfee Jehdeemae, and Reeduwan Tahay. DNA from the pickup used in the foiled bomb plot have already nailed one of the suspects. Police are now interrogating the three in a effort to track down all of those involved. Witnesses said about ten men took part in hijacking the pickup. Meanwhile in Narathiwat province, soldiers with the help of military dogs searched a mountainous area to hunt down militants who raided a hospital on March 13. Video footage and other evidence showed more than 50 men took part in that raid, aimed at providing a base for attacks on a nearby military base. Yesterday, arrest warrants were issued for six more suspected raiders: Suedee Puteh, Yakee Wor-ngoi, Subaidee Safru, Ardue-anan Beuraheng, Abudulloh Johloh, and Abdulhaleng No. These latest arrest warrants bring the total number for this incident to eight.
