SUSPECTED insurgents detonated a motorcycle bomb in southern Thailand yesterday, killing two military rangers and wounding 11 people. This was the second serious attack in as many days, after one of the Muslim rebel groups operating in the area agreed to hold peace talks.
The blast on a road in Yala Province followed a motorcycle bombing in neighboring Narathiwat Province on Friday that wounded six people.
The attacks come two days after an agreement between the Thai government and Barisan Revolusi Nasional rebels to start talks aimed at ending a conflict that has cost 5,000 lives since 2004. Various rebel groups are active in the southern provinces bordering Malaysia. Analysts say it is unclear whether all rebel groups supported talks.
