| Four Thai Army soldiers were wounded in two bombings in Pattani and Narathiwat provinces early Monday morning, while the country's national police chief flew to Songkhla Monday to survey the scene and receive updates on the investigation following seven coordinated bombings there on Saturday. Four military personnel wounded in two provinces Monday morning were taken to hospital for treatment. Two wounded men were part of a unit of six soldiers on motorcycle patrol to escort teachers travelling to school in Panare district in the early morning, who were ambushed when a roadside bomb was command-detonated by remote control. In another incident two soldiers were wounded in a bomb attack on a rail track in Narathiwat's Rangae district on Monday. Narathiwat-Yala train service was delayed for three hours. The five-kilogramme bomb was detonated by mobile phone while the soldiers were patrolling the railway tracks to provide security for trains. |
