BANGKOK (BNO NEWS) -- At least four people were injured on Monday morning when multiple bombs went off in Thailand's restive south, the Bangkok Post reported.

The first bomb went off at Ban Nam Khao in Narathiwat, severing the right leg of a village defense volunteer. Eyewitnesses said the volunteer stepped on a bomb when he went to examine the road leading to the village after being informed that it had been blocked by a tree trunk.



Meanwhile, two children aged 16 and 10 were injured when they tripped a homemade bomb hidden in a rubber plantation near Ban Kolo Kawe. The older boy lost his left foot in the explosion while the other one suffered wounds to both his body and his legs.

In Yala's Bannang Sata district, a police corporal was wounded and a patrol car was damaged when a bomb exploded. Additionally, an explosive device went off on a road in the Bacho district of Narathiwat, the Bangkok Post reported, causing no casualties.

Last week, a series of bomb explosions killed three people and injured around twenty others in the restive city of Yala. The attacks happened about 24 hours after two bomb blasts struck Narathiwat's Muang district, killing five people, including a pregnant woman and her three-year-old child.

Separatist groups in Thailand's southern regions, which are for a majority Muslim, have brought constant and violent uprisings in the region for the past 6 years. Over 4,800 people have died and more than 9,000 others have been injured during this period.

And three Buddhists were killed last night in their home by Muslim terrorists near Naratiwat. The old grandmother hid and survived and ID's the killers, Muslim men who live in the adjoining village, but no one has been arrested. Then, later that night, the rubber trees of Buddhist villagers were leveled while the trees in adjoining plantations, owned by Muslims, were left alone.

The Thai government took the military out of the region half a year ago, and killings have shot up, yet we don't hear much about it in the English-language press.

The muslims sure respect other people, just take a look around the world, whenever there are cruel attacks on innocent civilans, it is always "peaceful" muslims terrorizing non muslim people.
