Bomb in front of school injures two in southern Thailand
2011-06-16
A policeman and a Muslim man were slightly injured when a improvised bomb exploded in front of a house opposite a primary school in Yala province on Thursday morning.

Master Serg Yuenyong Dulyaseri, 54, was walking back to his motorcycle from guiding traffic in front of the school when suspected terrorists militants detonated the home-made bonb planted under a tree of the house. The traffic officer's right wrist was hurt by shrapnel and he was taken to Yala hospital.

Police also found a Muslim man, Mahama Daiden Kasong sitting in his car with its rear window smashed by the explosion. He appeared to be stunned by the explosion and was also taken to the hospital.

Fortunately, all students had gone into classes when the bomb went off, otherwise a number of them could have been injured.

#5  So then Timur would be referred to as a mongol, and would this be around the same time he went and kicked the snot out of the western islamic peoples?

#4  ...cause the Byzantines had pretensions to the dust bin of what used to be the Western Roman Empire. That being occupied largely by various Goth and German fiefdoms, with smatterings of holdouts in Ireland and the nooks and carnies in the backlands. However, the boys out of Constantinople spoke Greek by that time, not Latin.

#3  Muslims refer to the Byzantines as Romans, grimly, because that's how the Byzantines referred to themselves.

Kind of sums it up though; two unbelievable things, cut and paste, glory in the past, naked man with his sister.
