| Bomb defused in Narathiwat |
| 2015-12-16 |
| [The Nation] A bomb squad yesterday defused a pipe bomb planted on a motorbike parked in front of a bank in Narathiwat province. It is suspected that the bomb was aimed at marines who patrol the area every morning or was intended to damage the local economy. Police sealed off the area after residents alerted them to a "suspicious" bike left overnight. Bomb squad officers inspected the vehicle and found a bomb in a compartment under the seat. The unti defused the explosive and removed it. Meanwhile in neighboring Yala province, 500 religious leaders and locals gathered yesterday to protest a bomb planted in a local Islamic graveyard. This follows an explosion in the graveyard on Sunday, which killed a paramilitary volunteer with Ranger Taskforce 43 and injured his father. The two men were praying for Saikh's recently-deceased mother. |
