Ambush kills four Thai officials, restaurant bombing injures six
2007-11-21
Suspected Islamic terrorists rebels killed four Buddhist state officials on Wednesday in a roadside gun attack in Thailand's rebellious Muslim south, police said.

Four militants on two motorcycles attacked the officials in their car with a pistol and an M-16 rifle. One man and two women were killed instantly in a village in Pattani, one of the southern provinces caught up in a separatist jihad insurgency. Another woman official died in hospital, police said.

After the shooting, the militants hid a small bomb in a car and detonated it after cameramen and photographers finished filming, a Thai television reporter told Reuters by telephone. "Ten minutes after I finished filming, a bomb went off in the car and I was just about 10 metres away," said Channel 7 reporter Khemin Guagoon.

According to witnesses, the suspected bomber posed as a customer and placed the bomb under a table. He is believed to have detonated the bomb by mobile phone after leaving the restaurant.
