One ranger killed, five injured in bombing in southern Thailand
2008-11-10
A roadside bomb killed one paramilitary ranger and wounded five others Monday as they were patrolling a trouble-torn district in Narathiwat - part of Thailand's deep South, police said. The remotely controlled 20-kilogram bomb exploded at about 10 am (0300 GMT) in Ruesoh district of Narathiwat, 800 kilometres south of Bangkok, as a pickup truck carrying a patrol of paramilitary troops passed by, said Ruesoh Police Sergeant Paosri Jaetae.

"We think influential people hired Muslim terrorists militants to do this in order to create chaos," said Paosri. Besides the jihad separatist struggle, the region - including Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala provinces bordering Malaysia - is rife with illegal activities such as drug smuggling operated by "influential people" who benefit from the state of fear and disorder.
