| Two bombings in southern Thailand killed at least seven soldiers and policemen and wounded 15 others on Saturday. The first bomb was planted on the roadside in Yala province where a military patrol team of seven men in a pickup truck and two motorcycles were passing. That bomb killed three soldiers and wounded another two. The surviving soldiers had a gun battle with the assailants and local police said some of the assailants were injured. The second bombing was apparently targeted at policemen in Pattani province. The bomb was planted to the side of a football field where a team from Kapho Police Station was about to begin a match with local officials. The players on the police football team were changing their clothes when the bomb was detonated. Four policemen were killed and 13 others, including four who are in critical condition, were injured. |
