    Bombings in Thai south kill 3, wound dozens

    PATTANI, Thailand (AP) — Thailand's military said more than a dozen coordinated bomb attacks in the country's insurgency-plagued south Tuesday killed at least three people and injured dozens.

    The military's Internal Security Operations Command said suspected Muslim insurgents put bombs at 16 locations across the southern town of Yala, including a school, shops and hotels. Authorities defused five of the bombs.

    The agency said three people were killed, 14 severely injured and 31 slightly injured. The explosions also caused power outages.

    More than 4,700 people have been killed in Thailand's southernmost Muslim-dominated provinces since an Islamic insurgency flared in 2004.

    Tuesday's attacks occurred on the anniversary of the 2004 suppression of an anti-government protest in Tak Bai in neighboring Narathiwat province. Seven demonstrators were fatally shot and 78 others died of asphyxiation after being piled on top of one another on military trucks to be taken to a detention center.

    Internal Security Operations Command deputy director Akra Tiproj said one of the dead was believed to be a bomber because his body was found on a motorcycle that exploded. Planting bombs on motorcycles is a common tactic of the insurgents.

      Thailand is a country of Buddhism. Throughout the history, Thailand gives everyone freedom of religions. Their reason, "Every religion teaches everyone to be a good person." When a host country is nice enough for you to practice your religion, you shouldn't go around bombing everyone. That's just being ungrateful guests. Keep doing this and one day all countries will decide to ban Muslims. If you don't want that to happen, then control your people!

      This is typical of them. When the government is taking care and helping another part of thailand, other than the south, they do this to get more attention. Just like they did years ago.

      Muslims need to be segregated so that they cannot spread their evil ways to the world. Wake up Liberals! Muslims ARE Dangerous!

      Muslims are as Dangerous and Liberals are Stupid!
      • tom h 7 mths ago
        "Muslims are as Dangerous and Liberals are Stupid" What does that mean? And how does one go about segregating a group (in this case about 1.5 billion) people?
      • Revolution Time 7 mths ago
        I wrote that wrong. I meant that Muslims are as dangerous as Liberals are stupid!

        Deport them all back to their OWN country and don't let them Migrate ANYWHERE else, that would segregate them from spreading their evil.
