[Anadolu] One soldier was killed and three others were wounded Wednesday in an early morning explosion in Thailand's far South.
Police Lieutenant-Colonel Shinawat Wetayakorn of Yala police station said that the four were hit by a remote controlled bomb. He said, "The bomb was hidden on the roadside and triggered when six military officers on three motorcycles were passing by on a road in the Muang district of Yala. One died on the spot and three others were injured. We consider this attack to be the work of insurgents."
Monday's incident occurs after a series of violent incidents including the recent murder of an eight-month pregnant woman while she was buying groceries. This provoked indignation from authorities, Buddhists and Muslims alike. National Human Rights Commission member Angkhana Neelapaijit said, "It is a strong violation of human rights and moralities of every religion."
Around 200 people gathered at the site of the shooting on November 27 to denounce the "uncivilized and unacceptable acts."
