Bomb injures three in Thai south
[Bernama] Two members of the security forces and a female student were wounded in a bombing incident in Mukim Peng, Saiburi district in Pattani this afternoon. District police chief Mana Dechawaris said the bomb was placed beside the road and exploded when five security force members were passing the road in an armored vehicle. He said, "Two members of the security forces and a female student were injured by the explosion," adding that the three victims suffered slight injuries. Meanwhile, Fourth Division Military Chief, Lt Gen Piyawat Nakwanich came in a helicopter from Pattani to Benang Setar, Yala this afternoon to meet with a man who had agreed to participate in the Bawa Balik Kampung program. The man, Bukhari Hasa, is suspected to be an insurgent active in southern Thailand and had five arrest warrants for the bombing incident that occurred ten years ago in Yala. Bawa Balik Kampung is a deradicalization program by Thai authorities to help those who had previously been involved in militant activities to be integrated back into the community.
