Eight soldiers wounded in Thai army patrol ambush
2007-09-21
Eight men of a 12-man military patrol were wounded Thursday night when a bomb exploded beneath their vehicle as they were patrolling this restive southernmost province. After the explosion, a group of 20 terrorists insurgents opened fire on the patrol as it scattered from the disabled vehicle, with gunfire bring exchange for about 20 minutes.

The 15-kilogramme dynamite bomb planted beneath a road in Katong sub-district of Yaha district destroyed the army truck, tearing a one-metre-deep and three-metre-crater in the roadway. Inspecting the ambush site Friday morning, a police bomb disposal team determined that the bomb was command-detonated by battery cable in an intended ambush, a now familiar mode of terrorist insurgent attack.

Elsewhere, shooting incidents were reported at Narathiwat's Ra-Ngae district, with presumed terrorists insurgents firing weapons on an Army base and Maruebotok School. Although no casualties were reported, the school closed for the safety of students and teachers.

Also in Ra-Ngae, 38-year-old Nipol Rojbamrung was shot in front of her home, and was taken to a hospital in Ra-Ngae district where she is receiving treatment. The departing terrorists insurgents scattered spikes on the road between Ra-Ngae and Ruso districts to delay police arrival and pursuit.
