One man was seriously wounded by a bomb in Narathiwat province and two others were shot in Pattani province on Saturday morning.

A five kilogram IED went off Saturday morning seriously wounding a motorcycle rider, who happened to be passing by.

Police said the terrorists suspected separatists set the bomb off by a mobile phone, trying to attack six troops on motorcycle patrol. The bomb malfunctioned and exploded a few seconds later.

Meanwhile in Pattani province an assistant village leader was gunned down in a drive-by-shooting on Saturday morning.

The attack took place about 7:50 a.m. on the Patatni-Yala road while the victim was on his motorcycle going to a teashop in his village. Two men on another motorcycle followed him and the passenger shot at him.

The victim was shot a number of times and died at the scene. The attackers took his pistol before fleeing.

Another shooting took place in Pattani province early Saturday morning. A rubber tapper was shot and seriously injured while working at her rubber plantation.

Police blamed separatist terrorists militants for all three attacks.
