Army troops and police reinforcements were immediately rushed to the scene to help the wounded officers, who were found bleeding and lying on the road.  They were rushed to the district hospital, and Pol. Snr. Sgt-Maj. Narongchai Jimakhom, who sustained the most serious injuries, was then flown by a helicopter to Songkhla Nakharin Hospital in nearby Hat Yai.

The terrorists in the Deep South have been using these IEDs since 2004 and they've killed more than 10,000 to date using bombs and drive by shootings mainly. It's not a recent thing.
