S Thailand hit by wave of bombs


A series of small bombs have exploded almost simultaneously at commercial banks in southern Thailand.
At least 15 banks were attacked in quick succession on Thursday morning, many of which were in Yala province.
So far one death has been reported, and police say many other people have been injured in the blasts.
The attack is the latest in a string of violent incidents in the Thai south, where more than 1,300 people have been killed since January 2004. Officials blame Muslim insurgents for much of the unrest, although criminal gangs are also thought to be behind some of the attacks. The southern provinces are predominantly Muslim, with a separate language and culture to much of the rest of Thailand.

My workmate's wife is a judge in Yala, before she had 2 guys to protect her. The government has just sent 2 more guys to safe her, just in case.

Apparently it was mostly women and school girls that set the bombs. Several Islamic banks were hit as well.

Sometimes I think ..... well forget it.
