Seven troops were injured in a double bomb attack in Narathiwat’s Tak Bai district on Friday morning, police said.

 

The first attack happened at 9am at a bridge behind the Narathiwat Coastal Fishery Research Centre. As five troops parked their pickup truck, insurgents detonated a bomb hidden inside a motorcycle to ambush them.

 

Police said the five troops had gone to help repair the house of a relative of a former insurgent. The motorcycle belonged to Mariya Maka, 31, who reported that it had been stolen after his friend borrowed it.

 

About 30 minutes later, as police inspected the scene, another bomb exploded about 800 metres away. 

 

The second bomb injured more troops who had set up a roadblock after the first blast.

 

Poilce said two of the troops were severely injured. They were identified as Pvt Sirikhet Mankhaket and Sgt Kittipong Promsaen. They were initially treated as a district hospital and later taken to Narathiwat Hospital.

 

Police said he motorcycle bomb contained about 10kgs of explosives while the second bomb was twice as powerful. The second bomb was assembled in a extinguisher cylinder. Both bombs were detonated using walkie-talkie radios.

Bypassing the military's SIM card registration idea that's mandatory in southern Thailand.

Will the military next ban w-t radios next?

Amazing how quiet the current government has been over the south's continuing troubles. I would have thought that they would have flooded the  area with as many troops as they could muster and clean these reprehensible scum out. I don't think SIM card registration, banning of radios or any other legalities put in place will stop the carnage, as these types do not do anything by the law.

The troops were going to re build a former insurgent's relatives house?? Why?
