Bomb fire razes shophouses in southern Thailand
2014-06-01
Three shophouses were destroyed in a fire yesterday which police believe was triggered by a terrorist militant bomb attack. More than 10 fire trucks were deployed to fight the blaze, which quickly consumed the old wooden structures. Fire crews took two hours to contain the blaze, and damage was still being assessed as of press time.

One of the razed shophouses was a grocery store. The owner told police he had been sleeping upstairs when he was woken by what sounded like two loud explosions coming from the ground floor of his shop. Fire soon began to spread through his and the adjacent shophouses, forcing his family to evacuate.
