New Bomb Attacks in Southern Thailand

November 4, 2008

One person was killed and 70 injured on Tuesday when twin bombs ripped through a market and tea shop near a local government office in Thailand's insurgency-hit south, police said. The attack was one of the biggest assaults on civilians during the bloody separatist rebellion that has been raging for nearly five years in the three southern Muslim-majority provinces. Experts are divided as to whether the insurgency has mostly a religious, an ethnic or simply a criminal background.
