RoP Strikes in Thailand
A SERIES of bombs rocked police stations, a government office and a tea shop in southern Thailand early today, wounding at least two people, police said
The first of at least four blasts hit the Yala provincial police office at 8am (1100 AEST), wounding one traffic police officer, and another hit the provincial hall, police said.
A third bomb went off at a tea shop near Yaha district police station, wounding the owner of the shop, and a fourth device exploded at a police station in the Bannang Sata district.
More than 1,300 people have been killed since an insurgency broke out in January 2004 in the mainly Muslim and ethnic Malay south, a border region also troubled by organised crime and police corruption.
