| [Bangkok Post] Two bombs hidden in motorcycles wounded 13 people in Narathiwat province on Monday while two rubber traders were killed in a gun battle in Yala province as violence continued across Thailand's far South. In Narathiwat, one bomb detonated near the Muang district police station and the other exploded in front of a shop, as bomb-ordnance officers sealed off the areas. Police said 13 people were injured, including five police officers and a young girl. An eyewitness said he saw a man parking a motorbike in front of his house before leaving on another motorcycle. He said he called police, but the bomb went off a minute later. The two explosions occurred only a minute apart. Elsewhere, two rubber wood traders were killed in a gun attack in Yala's Muang district Monday morning. As the victims were delivering rubber-tree timber to a school, they were followed by a group of men in a pickup truck. While overtaking the jeep, the men in the truck opened fire at the traders, causing them to lose control and skid off the road, hitting a power pole. The two were riddled with bullets and died at the scene. |
