Suspect named in Yala bombing

Police believe that a roadside bomb in Yala's Kabang district that injured a paramilitary ranger yesterday morning was placed by a group of insurgents led by suspect Adam Musordi.

Ranger Chok-anan Sinniang, 25, sustained injuries to his arm and leg when he and the other seven members of Ranger Company 4701 were patrolling the Nibong-Luboh Road in tambon Kabang at 8am yesterday.
In related news, Nakhon Yala Municipality deputy mayor Sathaporn Kanchanabut said the authorities were thinking about hosting a lucky draw in order to encourage shops to open on Fridays, despite the threats posed by insurgents. He said a lucky draw of cash prizes worth Bt5,000, Bt3,000 and Bt2,000 could be offered to shopowners, while workers could draw for nine gold necklaces.
