Two members of an army bomb disposal squad were killed and another injured by a southern insurgent IED attack on the convoy of the deputy commander of the Fourth Army Region in Si Sakhon district of the restive southern province of Narathiwat on Friday.

 

Maj-Gen Paisal Nusang, the deputy commander of the Fourth Army, and his men were travelling in a four-car convoy, on their way back from visiting a paramilitary ranger outpost in Si Sakhon sub-district, when the convoy came under the bomb attack.

 

It is reported that insurgents, hiding in bushes about 100 metres from a road in Ban Ai-Kasae, detonated the powerful device buried under the road as the convoy was about 800 metres from the army outpost.

To the first poster, they were in a pickup driving by and all respect should be given to bomb disposal crews, the bravest men in any army.

Rant over, it’s just that I have a friend who has been working for years in Cambodia clearing land mines so immediately gets a response from me.

A sad loss of innocent life.

I totally agree. My son was bomb disposal in the RLC. Recapped to the RAMC for a quieter life after getting a LE Commission.

Bomb disposal is a very brave person. In Thailand's military structure it is probably even braver than many other countries.....

An insensitive and not in the slightest bit funny troll post has been removed.

Key army personnel driving in a war zone in a pick-up. When will the Thai Army give them proper armoured vehicles that will give them a chance of surviving such an attack?
