| Southern Thai mosque bombed |
| 2007-04-05 |
| A bomb was thrown into a mosque in Thailand's rebellious Muslim-majority south on Thursday, wounding at least 14 worshippers, a senior policeman said. About 100 people had gathered for morning prayers in the mosque, located in an area under curfew since an attack by suspected insurgents on a minibus that killed eight Buddhists last month, Major-General Paitoon Chuchaiya said. Few other details were immediately available, he told Channel 3 television, on a night of arson attacks on schools often targeted by insurgents as a symbol of the far-away government in Bangkok. Eight schools, two teachers' houses and two clinics were set ablaze in the Yaha district of Yala province and a neighboring area, said Paitoon, the provincial police chief. Yaha was put under curfew last month after the minibus attack, which outraged the country's overwhelming Buddhist majority. |

| #7 Sure it wasn't a message by the radicals to the 'moderates' to get with the program. Bombs are their MOs. And wounding another Muzzie rather than killing him would be the objective on Thursday rather than Friday. Someone may have learned about what killing other Muzzies has resulted in Iraq, specifically for AQ. |

| #5 Yep. All it takes is one or two grieving fathers, brothers or sons who have lost a loved one to a terrorist attack to go out looking for revenge. |

| #4 Seems appropriate, considering bombs, beheadings, stonings, and limbs hacking are all sacraments of the religion of pieces |
