Bomb in Thai south kills one, injures 19

BANGKOK- At least one person was killed and 19 wounded in an explosion at a night market in southern Thailand on Monday where Muslim separatists have been waging an insurgency for more than a decade.

 

The attack comes two months after a wave of coordinated bombings in tourist towns in Thailand's south that killed four Thais and wounded dozens, including foreigners, attacks the police linked to Muslim militants.

 

Monday's attack, in the town of Pattani, struck around 7 p.m. (1200 GMT), police said.

 

"The bomb was placed near a noodle stall and the explosion killed one woman. We are currently investigating and securing the site," Pakpoom Jantarangsee, a police officer investigating, told Reuters.
