PATTANI (NNT) - Rebels have claimed responsibility for deadly bombings in Thailand’s deep south on Friday (15 Apr) that broke a Ramadan holiday agreed between the main rebel group and the government.

 

Colonel Kiatisak Neewong, a spokesman for the Thai security forces in the south, said a group not included in the peace talks were likely responsible for bombings aimed at disrupting the Ramadan truce.

 

The Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) agreed two weeks ago to stop violence during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan through May 14.

Kasturi Mahkota, president of the Patani United Liberation Organisation (PULO), said the two explosions which killed a civilian and injured three policemen were carried out by its militant arm.

 

Recent talks have sought a political solution to the decades-long conflict under the framework of the Thai constitution. Talks have been frequently disrupted since beginning in 2013. The latest round started in 2019.
