Seven soldiers injured in bombing in southern Thailand
2010-03-15
Seven Thai army soldiers were injured in a bombing in jihad-plagued insurgency-affected Pattani late Saturday's night, according to local police and a bomb disposal unit investigating the crime scene on Sunday.

Investigators led by Pol Lt-Col Nukul Taneerat at Khok Pho police station found that a military response team by pickup truck Saturday night rushed to an abandoned rubber factory after being informed that the factory was set ablaze by arsonists. While the military pickup passed the scene, one kilometre far from the factory, unidentified assailants presumed to be terrorists insurgents detonated a homemade bomb placed underground. The bombing caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle and to plunge off the roadside. The investigators believe that the terrorists insurgents lured the soldiers to the scene and intentionally triggered the bombs.

The attack injured seven security personnel and caused major damage to the vehicle. All were sent to hospital Saturday night. Five were treated and released, and are convalescing at home, while two others remain hospitalised in stable condition.
