No one killed or wounded in the south Thailand jihad today, but not for lack of trying: Bomb targets southern tourist area.

Narathiwat (TNA) - A bomb exploded at a recreation park near a beach in Narathiwat’s Tak Bai district but no one was wounded. The site is a popular visiting point for local residents and tourists on weekends.

A remote-controlled bomb was hidden at the site but no one was wounded in the explosion.

Meanwhile, a school was torched in Cho Ai Rong district after security forces raided a village and detained 25 people for questioning on Friday.

Banyaning School was burned to the ground on Friday night. Completely destroyed in the arson attack, police believe the fire was motivated in retaliation for the raid. A number of electric power poles were felled and spikes were strewn on roads to prevent police from initially responding to the fire.
