Lite Beer Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 String of blasts rock southern Thai town: officials YALA, October 25, 2011 (AFP) - Suspected Muslim insurgents detonated a string of coordinated explosions Tuesday across a town in Thailand's troubled south, local officials said. At least eight blasts were heard in Yala, causing chaos and "a lot of injured people" although the number of casualties was not immediately clear, according to the town's governor Krisada Boonrach. "Several bombs went off, I can still hear explosions," a Yala policeman told AFP by telephone from the southern region, which has been plagued by more than eight years of conflict. They are the latest in a series of increasingly brazen attacks by the shadowy rebels. On Sunday at least seven people were killed in back-to-back shooting and bomb attacks in a town in neighbouring Narathiwat province. -- (c) Copyright AFP 2011-10-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
