| 2013-12-14 |
| A villager and his 2-year-old son were shot and seriously injured in Pattani province on Wednesday night. Manusi Samae was riding his motorcycle home at around 8 p.m. on Wednesday night after picking up his kids from school when he was shot by two men on another motorcycle. He was hit in the neck, shoulder and right leg. His 2-year-old son Musa was shot in the stomach, while his 6-year-old daughter was scratched up after falling off the motorcycle. In the same province, a bomb went off yesterday morning inside a school, injuring a volunteer ranger and a village defense volunteer. The two injured men were part of a six-man patrol protecting the school. In Songkhla province, a police car was damaged by a bomb yesterday morning and one officer was slightly injured. Following an earlier report of a suspicious object found in front of a school, four policemen in the vehicle were setting up a checkpoint nearby when the bomb went off. Police blamed the ongoing insurgency in the far South. |
