YALA, Thailand: Suspected Muslim insurgents detonated a bomb hidden in a motorcycle near a morning market Tuesday in southern Thailand, injuring at least 20 people, police said.
At least seven people were wounded from the blast while others sustained injuries in the ensuing panic in the capital of Yala province, said police Col. Phumphet Phiphatphetphum.
He said the explosion occurred shortly after a young Muslim man parked the motorcycle near the busy market.
The attack occurred a day after suspected Muslim insurgents ambushed an army patrol in neighboring Narathiwat province, killing all eight soldiers in the group and then beheading one.
Entering its fifth year, the Muslim rebellion in Thailand's southernmost provinces has taken the lives of more than 2,800 people. Many in the predominantly Muslim area feel unfairly treated by the country's Buddhist majority.
DAWN:
Eight soldiers killed in Thailand blast
NARATHIWAT, Jan 14: Suspected Muslim insurgents killed eight soldiers and beheaded one of them in a bombing and shooting attack on Monday in restive southern Thailand, army and police officials said.
The soldiers were on a routine morning patrol in the Chanae district of Narathiwat province when a bomb hidden on the road exploded as their military vehicle passed, said the spokesman, Col Akara Thiprote.
After the blast, suspected insurgents attacked the vehicle with a barrage of gunfire, leaving no survivors, he said.
“One of the soldiers was beheaded. His head was found 50 meters away from the scene of the attack,” said police Lt-Col Chakkrote Nongmanee, who inspected the blast site.
An initial investigation indicates that about 20 suspected insurgents were hiding behind brush along the roadside, Chakkrote said.
- THE TARGETS WEREN'T JOOOOZE OR NEOCONS OR BUSHIES.
- AND THE PERP WASN'T A MORMON OR A BUDDHIST OR A BAPTIST.
- GLOBAL JIHAD IS REAL AND IT'S KILLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND SINCE 9/11 IN OVER 10,000 ATTACKS - WORLDWIDE.
- THERE ARE TWO WAY WE CAN HAVE PEACE:
- DO WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WANT AND SURRENDER - ALL AT ONCE OR IN BITS AND PIECES, BY APPEASING THE ENEMY - AND THEN LIVE IN SHAMEFUL DHIMMITUDE;
- OR WE CAN FIGHT BACK WITH ALL WE'VE GOT AND DEFEAT THE ENEMY.
- THE CHOICE IS OURS.
THE GREAT BENEFIT TO FIGHTING BACK IS THAT WE GET TO KEEP OUR FREEDOM.
