More than two behind Songkhla train station attack: police

More than two perpetrators were behind the bomb attack at Chana railway station in Songkhla on Monday, police said yesterday.

Pol Colonel Komkrit Srisong of Chana Police Station said CCTV footage showed two suspects, but he reckons more people were behind the attack. 
Since 2004, 32 insurgency cases have taken place, with 13 police officers killed and 13 more wounded. 
Most of the officials had lost their lives from being shot at close distance while patrolling, he said. “Now insurgents stalk security officials on duty and implant their vehicles with bombs when they are parked,” he said. 
He added that the actual target of the Monday attack was the site of military conscription ceremony. Security officials had been tipped off about the plan, and set up checkpoints to prevent insurgents from going into the target area.
