| 2008-07-18 |
| (Xinhua) -- Insurgents in Thailand's southernmost province of Yala launched a fresh attack against soldiers on Thursday afternoon, just hours after some so-called insurgency leaders issued a cease-fire announcement through Thai army-controlled TV 5. One soldier of an army patrol team was severely injured during the gun attack in Yala province, a military source told Xinhua. The army unit was on patrol duty while the insurgents shot them from a roadside jungle. The attackers escaped from the venue after the attack and the injured soldier was rushed to a nearby hospital. |
