webfact Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Exploding roadside bomb misses ranger targets in South By Narong Nuansakul The Nation Militants are suspected of planting and detonating a roadside bomb with intent to harm a five-member team of patrol rangers in Narathiwat’s Reu Soh district on Thursday morning, but nobody was killed or injured as the explosion was directed toward roadside bushes. The bomb went off at 7.25am near a bridge in Ban Sawor Hilae (Moo 6) in Tambon Sawor, as the last ranger passed within 10 metres of the explosion, which was focused in another direction. Police officers inspecting the scene found a 30cm-deep, 1.2-metre-wide crater with bomb fragments. They said they suspected the explosives were placed in a 10-kilogram metal box and detonated by radio. Police believe the explosion was part of disturbances ahead of the New Year festival.

chama Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 When will Thailand get tired of this scourge and purge itself of these groups? Are there any military leaders in government that have the grit to tackle this problem that is bound to fester until it becomes impossible to cure?
