At least five people have been killed in southern Thailand after suspected Islamic militants attacked a government building, police said.
The attackers riddled the office with bullets in the village of Pado in the Pattani province, they said. …
The gunmen attacked the office during a council meeting in the village in the largely Buddhist district of the province, police said. The victims’ identities were not immediately known. At least one person was reportedly injured during the attack.
“Police cannot reach the site because the militants left spikes (on the road) and possibly a bomb,” police officer Choke Srinualchan told the AFP news agency.
