Three more dead and 17 wounded in the south Thailand jihad: Bomb kills 3, wounds 17 in Thailand’s Muslim south.

YALA, Thailand – A roadside bomb killed three people and wounded 17 in Thailand’s rebellious Muslim south as they were buying food on Wednesday, police said.

The remote-controlled 5-kg (11-lb) bomb hidden in the basket of a motorcycle exploded near food stalls in the city of Yala, capital of one of three southern provinces where more than 2,100 people have been killed in a three-year-old separatist insurgency, police said.

Five of the wounded were hurt seriously, they said.

Nobody claims responsibility for the daily gun or bomb attacks in the far south, annexed by predominately Buddhist Thailand a century ago, where most people speak a Malay dialect.

“Nobody claims responsibility?” Then why are Reuters and the Associated Press so insistent that the murder spree is being committed by “resurgent separatist Muslim insurgents?”
