| 2016-08-05 |
| [Bangkok Post] Eight people, including two senior officials, were wounded when a motorcycle bomb went off as their vehicle went passed on a local road in Narathiwat province around noon on Wednesday. The attack occurred on the road where Si Sa Khon district's defense volunteer outpost at Sakor village is located. The armored pickup truck was carrying the district chief Kotchakorn Raksasorn, his assistant and five defense volunteers to the district office when a bomb, hidden in a motorcycle parked on the side of the road, exploded. The blast damaged the armored vehicle and a passing motorcycle. Mr Kotchakorn and the six others in the vehicle and a local resident were injured. Officials blamed insurgents for the attack, which they believe was intended to cause disruption ahead of Sunday's referendum on the draft charter. |
