Terrorist suspected in fatal train derailment in southern Thailand
2008-05-04
One passenger died and 13 others were injured and hospitalised when four passenger carriages of a train ran off the rails in southern Songkhla province, raising suspicions that terrorists militants may have torn up the tracks. The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) said Sunday morning that the cause of the accident was not yet determined. Normal service was to be restored Sunday afternoon.

Fourteen injured passengers were sent to a hospital in Hat Yai city. One man died shortly after admission, of multiple abdomen injuries, officials said. An expectant mother travelling as well gave birth at the hospital, they said. Both mother and her newborn child were in safe condition.

The accident raised suspicions that southern terrorists militants had torn up the rails, as they have done dozens of times in the past. Railway experts were investigating the accident on Sunday.
