Two students and a school official were wounded when terrorists suspected insurgents detonated a bomb at Yala Rajabhat University on Friday morning. Police said a five-kilogramme bomb was placed inside its Science and Technology Faculty and was detonated by remote control at around 10am. The victims, all female, were rushed to Yala Centre Hospital.
Kraisorn Sritrairat, dean of the university, said police are still not sure who planted the bomb. However, he said he believes the attack must be staged by terrorists suspected militants. He said the university allowed security officials to search dormitories, and several students were called in for questioning. Although they are released later, he believes the insurgents may want to seek revenge. "Actually, I believe Yala Rajabhat University is not the location targeted by insurgents," he said. "But the fact that some students were interrogated, the insurgents may do this as a retaliation." |
