Thai officer killed as bomb blasts armored car
2012-06-21
Police are hunting a key terror insurgent suspect believed to have masterminded the bombing in Si Sakhon district yesterday that killed a border patrol police officer. The bomb also injured two other border patrol officers. A rebel group led by Bangsop Tolueno is thought to be behind the incident.

The bomb, buried in the middle of the road and set off by a detonation chord, destroyed the armored car in which the three officers were travelling. The wounded officers were treated at a local hospital and are now in a safe condition.

The attack occurred as the police team was patrolling on Tuesday evening to provide security for teachers.

Police have launched a manhunt for Mr Bangsop, whose group is thought to have planned the attack for a week. Police had heard the bombing might take place, but did not know when or where, said the chief of Si Sakhon district.

One soldier and a villager were injured by a bomb explosion in Narathiwat's Sukirin district on Thursday morning.

Sgt Maj Worawit Inta, chief of the special unit providing security for teachers in Sukirin, told police that about 7:50 a.m., he sent 12 soldiers out to provide protection for local teachers as usual. While the soldiers, on motorcycles and a pickup truck, were travelling on a local road, a bomb buried in the middle of the road exploded, seriously wounding Pvt Wuthichai Chamruang, 21, and slightly wounding a woman who was passing by.
