Soldier wounded in Thailand bomb blast
2007-07-19
A soldier was wounded when terrorists insurgents detonated a bomb at a school in Pattani on Thursday morning, just a few hours before army chief Sonthi Boonyaratkalin visited the province. The blast went off at Ban Toh Teetae in Yaring district, where the soldier was part of a teacher security guard unit.

The blast occurred prior to Gen Sonthi's visit to the region. He was scheduled to meet with governors of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat to discuss security measures in the restive South, and to boost the morale of security forces. Gen Sonthi said equipment used in cutting off remote control and mobile phone signals will need to be developed in order to prevent more casualties from the unrest.
