Thai ranger wounded in railway bombing
2008-08-16
A ranger was wounded early Saturday after a bomb lanted by presumed terrorists insurgents at the foot of a bridge near a small railway station in this troubled southern province exploded while three suspected insurgents were apprehended.

The latest violence took place at about 6.30 am when six paramilitary rangers were patrolling a railway line in Ruso district and the bomb, detonated by remote control, exploded, wounding one of them. The impact of the explosion caused a deep hole near a bridge on the railway line. Also, the first passenger train service from Narathiwat's Sungai Kolok district heading for Surat Thani province was delayed over two hours as bomb detectors inspected the rail line to certify that no other explosives was hidden in the near vicinity.

Provincial security personnel later set up a checkpoint behind the small railway station, near the scene of the bombing, and arrested three suspects for interrogation.
