Roadside bomb kills two teachers in southern Thailand
2013-07-27
Two teachers were killed and three other people, including another teacher and two policemen, were wounded when a bomb exploded in Narathiwat province Wednesday.

A seven-member police patrol was escorting another car carrying three teachers. A bomb planted by the roadside was detonated remotely as the convoy passed by. The car with the teachers inside skidded off the road into a ditch about 100 meters from where the bomb exploded.

Two female teachers were killed and a male teacher, who was the driver, was seriously wounded. Police said Mr Apichart, the wounded teacher, stepped on the accelerator after the blast and lost control of the car, which plunged into the ditch, killing his two passengers.

Meanwhile, army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha blamed terrorists insurgents for using violence as a bargaining tool to force the government to meet their demands. Gen Prayuth Wednesday said the southern unrest remains unsolved because insurgents want to use violence as a tool to bargain with the government to accept their demands.
