Bomb kills two security volunteers in southern Thailand
2017-08-02
[Bangkok Post] Two village security volunteers were killed and four wounded when a bomb exploded at a shelter where they went to rest after providing security for teachers in Pattani province on Tuesday morning. The blast left a hole 1.5 meter wide hole and a meter deep. Investigators collected metal fragments and electronic parts from the scene.

Police believed the explosive was stuffed in a steel pipe which was ignited remotely when the volunteers retired to the shelter. The shelter is used by local residents as well as security forces.

One volunteer was killed instantly by the blast. Another died later at the hospital. Both lost their legs.

Prior to the attack, a bomb disposal team was deployed about 7am to check a suspicious box found at a market in Mayo municipality. It turned out to be just an empty box.
