Fourth Army Area deputy commander Maj Gen Shinnawat Maendej Monday warned all Army bases in the southern borer provinces to tighten security for possible stepped-up attacks by Muslim insurgents.
Shinnawat said the insurgents were expected to step up their attacks during the ten-day period before the Hari Rayo or Muslims' New Year Day.
He was speaking to reporters after inspecting a scene of attack near a taskforce in Narathiwat's Sungai Kolok district.
Two people were injured by a bomb in a pickup that exploded near the taskforce and a school in the district Sunday morning.
