No peace, no talk, Prawit tells southern insurgents

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan angrily vowed not to hold more talks with Muslim insurgents unless there was peace in the southern border provinces.

“It has to be peaceful first and then we can discuss," Prawit told reporters.
He was reacting to the latest bombing attack in Pattani Late Tuesday. A car bomb exploded in Pattani’s nightlife district, killing one and injuring more than 30.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said the peace talk with insurgent groups would resume on September 2.
