Roadside bomb kills four soldiers in southern Thailand
2013-10-04
Four soldiers were killed in a bomb explosion in Yala province yesterday as they were traveling in an armoured car. Another three civilians were wounded when their truck fell into the crater left by the blast. The soldiers were on their way to Krong Pinang when the terrorists insurgents detonated the bomb, which blasted the car off the road.

Investigators think the attackers were members of an terrorist insurgent group led by Aba Cheali, who is believed to be active in Krong Pinang and Bannang Sata districts.

Internal Security Operations Command spokesman Col Pramote Prom-in called on civic groups and non-government organizations to denounce the attack. He said the attackers are extremists who pursue their cause without considering the effects the violence has on the innocent.

Meanwhile, a man was gunned down on a road in Pattani's Sai Buri district yesterday. He was identified as Mawee Masae. Mawee had been arrested on a charge of violating the security law in 2003 but was later released.

Witnesses said the victim was standing on the side of a rural road waiting for his friend to pick him up. Two men on a motorcycle approached, and the pillion rider shot him. The assailants then fled. Mawee died at the scene.
