Dupe entry: Jihadi mayhem continues in southern Thailand
2007-02-27
Three bombs went off in Yala and Narathiwat yesterday morning, wounding six soldiers while a Muslim villager was killed in a drive-by shooting in Narathiwat on Sunday night.

In the first attack, a home-made bomb exploded around 8 am at a roadside in Yala's Muang district, slightly injuring a soldier. The bomb, hidden under a flower pot, went off when a team of seven soldiers providing protection for teachers arrived.

In the province's Than Tho district, another bomb went off around 11 am yesterday, wounding a soldier. The bomb was hidden in a suspicious box left in front of a healthcare centre in tambon Banhae. It exploded when troops were called into the area to inspect the box.

On the same day, a bomb went off in Narathiwat's Sri Sakhon district, wounding four soldiers. The 5kg bomb, believed to be targeting soldiers providing protection for teachers, exploded around 8.20 am when a protection team arrived.

In Narathiwat's Sungai Padi district, Soree Hami, 39, a Muslim resident, was shot dead by two men on a motorcycle while returning home from a market on Sunday night.

This article has the same web addy as the story I posted on page 2, so a moderator will have to post this bit (at the end of the article) on page 1. Thanks.
