webfact Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Bomb wounds 20 at supermarket in southern Thailand REUTERS PATTANI, Thailand (Reuters) - A bomb exploded in front of a supermarket on Tuesday in the Thai city of Pattani, wounding about 20 people, a military spokesman said, in what appeared to be the latest attack by Muslim separatists in the south of the predominantly Buddhist country. A decades-old separatist insurgency in the largely ethnic Malay Muslim provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat has killed more than 6,500 people since 2004, according to independent monitoring group Deep South Watch. Pramote Prom-in, a spokesman for the Thai military in the area, said a suspected car bomb had exploded at the entrance of the Big-C supermarket in Pattani. "The explosion wounded about 20 people," he said. No deaths had been reported, he said. Attacks in Thailand's deep south have intensified this year. Last month, the government rejected a conditional offer for peace talks by one of the main insurgent groups, the Barisan Revolusi Nasional, which demanded international mediation or observation.

The explosion also caused extensive damage to the shopping centre vicinity and triggered a fire. Security personnel sealed off the area while the supercentre also evacuated hundreds of panicking shoppers out of the place as more bombs were created to be planted. The bomb was suspected to be placed in a bronze pickup truck parked near the entrance to the super centre.

Jonathan Fairfield Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Car bomb wounds 42 at supermarket in southern Thailand PATTANI, Thailand (Reuters) - Muslim militants fighting for a separate state in the south of predominantly Buddhist Thailand were suspected of carrying out a car-bomb attack on Tuesday outside a supermarket in the city of Pattani that wounded 42 people, police said. A decades-old separatist insurgency in the largely ethnic Malay Muslim provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat has killed more than 6,500 people since 2004, according to independent monitoring group Deep South Watch. Two of the 42 wounded were in a critical condition, authorities said. The first car bomb in Pattani since August destroyed the front of a Big-C supermarket, scattering debris over a wide area and sending up a column of black smoke. Muslim insurgents were suspected of the attack, said Rewat Srichantub, Pattani's deputy police chief. The bomber was believed to have fled the scene before the explosion, he said. Attacks in Thailand's deep south, near the border with Muslim-majority Malaysia, have intensified this year. Six army rangers were killed in an attack last month. The government recently rejected a conditional offer for peace talks from one of the main insurgent groups, the Barisan Revolusi Nasional, which demanded international mediation or observation.

seajae Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 again this shows the cowardice of these low lifes, aiming to kill women and children. When is the govt going to issue death warrants on these people instead of hiding from them. Put bounties on their heads and pay for them to be shot, like most terrorists they get their jollies by killing innocent people that cant shoot back at them. They know who many of them are, time to issue reward posters on them, 1 million baht dead or alive, make them watch their own backs and not be able to trust anyone, seize anything they own as well, pussy footing around with them is doing nothing.
