2008-04-20
Two policemen gunned down in seperate attack

A bomb planted by suspected terrorists separatists injured 13 people including a small child in Thailand's far south on Sunday, officials said, while two policemen were killed in a rebel attack.

The explosives were hidden in a rubbish bin in front of a state railway employee's home and near a market in Yala province. They were detonated by mobile phone on Sunday morning, police said. Two policemen, a four-year-old boy and 10 other villagers were hurt by the blast and flying shrapnel and are being treated in hospital.

Later the same day, a group of about six terrorists militants opened fire on two policemen, aged 50 and 30, who were guarding a local election polling station in front of a mosque in nearby Narathiwat province. They died instantly, and the jihadis rebels stole their rifles, police said.
