Roadside bomb kills district chief
From Times Wire Reports
A roadside bomb targeting a car in Thailand’s far south killed a district chief, a senior army officer and their driver today, police said.
Suspected Muslim insurgents triggered the explosion as the chief of Pattani province’s Maikhaen district were traveling with the two others to investigate an earlier blast, police Lt. Pitan Lookrak said.
“The suspected insurgents triggered two bombs hidden on the roadside,” Pitan said. “The second bomb killed three people in the car and totally damaged the car.”
