BANGKOK, Thailand - A bomb exploded at a busy teashop in southern Thailand on Monday, wounding 13 people, police said.
The bomb, hidden under a tree by the teashop near a government school in Yala province’s Bannang Sata district, seriously wounded four people, said police Lt. Yothin Wanthawee, who blamed suspected Muslim insurgents for the attack.
In Narathiwat province, two soldiers who were protecting teachers as they went to school in Tak Bai district were wounded by a bomb, police Lt. Jed Jaraenyaen said.
Since a Muslim separatist rebellion flared in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat in early 2004, near-daily bombings, drive-by shootings and other attacks have killed more than 2,300 people.
