[Georgealbert]

 

Picture from responders.

 

A police bus convoy traveling along Route 42, between Narathiwat and Pattani, was bombed on the afternoon of September 27, causing the vehicle to lose control and crash off the road. The incident sparked alarm among the officers on board and passing motorists.

 

The attack took place near Tabing Subdistrict, in the Sai Buri District of Pattani Province. According to reports, an IED, explosive device planted along the road was detonated as the bus passed by. The device had been hidden in a water meter cabinet on the side of the road.

 

 

In the immediate aftermath, officers were seen exiting the crashed bus, and it was confirmed that four police officers were injured in the blast. The injured officers were all transported to Songklanagarind Hospital, Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province , where their injuries are reported to be non-life-threatening.

 

Authorities are treating the incident as a serious act of violence, as the bombing of the police bus marks another bold attack in the region. An investigation is currently underway to determine who was  responsible for the bombing.

No, not the victims, their stupid superiors. Obviously you are ignorant to incidents like this.

 

Anyway, you have no knowledge on this subject so trot on and keep an eye on those weed smokers.

I live in Narathiwat. You should come visit.

If you have faith, The Lord Your God will protect you from harm.

Keep your distance from the security forces who are the real target and you will be fine. Its a nice part of the world with a real different cultural feel than the rest of the country.

Reminds me of Iraq and to a lesser degree Afghanistan a few years back. 

 

Stay away from the American Armed Forces and you'll be fine.

I think the main difference is that in the south ‘foreigners’ are not the target, actually quite the opposite as if one were to be harmed it would be very detrimental to the insurgent groups from all angles.

Stick to main areas during daylight, should be absolutely no problem. You’ll come across check points, but they will just wave you through.

I've said it before, build a wall around the area, and see how long they can survive.
