South Crisis
The Nation August 24, 2012
Insurgents continued their attacks on the deep south province of Yala on Friday but the latest incident fortunately caused no injuries.
A unit of 12 army personnel was alerted by villagers about a suspicious box on a road in Tanoh Buyoh village in Raman district and rushed to the site in an armoured personnel carrier, said First Lt Kowit Chansuk, the unit's chief.
A bomb exploded as the carrier neared the scene, damaging the vehicle's headlights but causing no injuries.
The blast blew a pit three metres wide and one metre deep in the road.
Kowit said that it was believed that the insurgents used the familiar tactic of placing a suspicious box on the road to lure the soldiers before triggering the explosive.
This time, fortunately, the bomb went off before the vehicle arrived at the spot, he said.
