| 2012-10-29 |
| In Pattani province yesterday, 16 people including three six-year-old girls were injured in a grenade attack at a food shop which was packed with diners and visitors to a nearby night market during the Muslim holiday. Eyewitnesses said two men on a motorcycle approached the shop and the rider threw a grenade at tables on a sidewalk connected to the beachfront food shop. The grenade used was an American-made M-61, judging by a safety lever left at the scene. Police and rescue workers had to wait before securing the scene and treating the injured until an abandoned motorcycle could be checked for explosives, but none were found. |
