Insurgents have set off a series of bombs in car and motorcycle showrooms in Thailand's south, injuring up to 13 people. At least eight showrooms in the town of Yala were targeted simultaneously at about lunchtime. The bombs were hidden inside display vehicles.
Separatist groups are believed to be responsible for the attacks which mirror a coordinated bombing campaign two months ago; more than 20 banks were hit in and around Yala in those attacks.
Elsewhere in the province, there have been reports that some Buddhists have died after being attacked by Muslim insurgents. Twenty-four Buddhist families have reportedly sought refuge in a temple. |
