webfact Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Progress cited in Yala bus torching By Nakarin Chinworakomon The Nation More arrests are anticipated over the torching of a Bangkok-bound bus in southern Yala province on December 17 thanks to confessions by suspects already in custody. Provincial Police Region 9 chief Pol Lt General Ronnasil Phusara on Monday reported significant progress in the investigation by Army, police and administrative officials of the insurgent attack on the double-decker bus in Bannang Sata district. Armed militants commandeered the bus, ordered all 16 passengers and the driver off, and set it on fire. No one was physically harmed. Ronnasil said suspects had helped convince authorities there could be another attack between January 6 and 10, which had prompted heightened security measures in seven economically strategic towns in the South. A source at a national security agency said five suspects were detained within days of the attack and interrogated. Their information led to 20 more suspects being rounded up in Bannang Sata on January 4 under the Emergency Decree, which allows for the detention without charge of citizens in the southern border provinces for up to 37 days. The source said three suspects confessed to launching the attack on the orders of Abdulloh Tapohtoh and Ahama Leubaesa.

I'm sure this is very popular among Muslims in the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
