Triple bombing in southern Thailand
2012-10-21
At least three bombs exploded in its downtown Tak Bai district of Narathiwat province Saturday night, wounding many people. Police suspect terrorists insurgents carried out the attacks in Tak Bai district ahead of the eight-year anniversary of the Tak Bai massacre on Oct 25, 2004.

The blasts occured about 9 p.m. yesterday, though details were still coming to light at press time last night.

Police said a bomb hidden in a parked car exploded in front of Tak Bai Plaza hotel and another bomb hidden in a parked motorcycle later exploded in front of the Sodsai karaoke bar, located 100 meters from the hotel. The third explosion took place inside a grocery shop in the district's downtown area.

Police said terrorists insurgents also sprayed bullets into a marine police camp. The officers inside briefly exchanged gunfire with the assailants, killing one of them at the scene.
