Three arrested in two bombings in southern Thailand
2012-04-15
Police have arrested three people thought to be involved in two bombings in Yala last month. Evidence shows the three suspects might have colluded in the blasts in Yala's municipal area on March 31 in which 11 people were killed and more than 100 wounded.

Pol Maj Gen Peera said some residents might have seen other suspects who fled on motorcycles after the attacks. He is seeking help from the public in providing details about these other suspects, who remain at large.

He also urged locals to keep an eye out for three stolen vehicles that could be used to transport bombs. Security sources were yesterday checking an intelligence report that terrorists insurgents were modifying several pickup trucks, including some with Bangkok and Lampang number plates, and planned to use them to carry out car bombings in the deep South.

In Narathiwat, a bomb went off near a roadside billboard near the provincial airport yesterday. No one was injured. Police said the five kilogram explosive was packed in a large metal box and left beside the billboard. The blast ripped the board and tore down a tree. It also shattered the windows of a pickup truck that was passing through the area.
