Ibroheng reportedly confessed and implicated several others as well as admitted to hiding bomb materials at his home in Ban Beu Dae in Tambon Chanae. Ranger Forces Regiment 46 Chief Colonel Paisal Noosang sent rangers along with soldiers, Chanae police and other officials to search the suspect’s home, fruit orchard and rice field.
Paisal called it a major bomb-making operation, which southern insurgents used for violent incidents in the three southernmost provinces and to teach young sympathisers to make bombs.
