Suspects arrested over Pattani bomb attack

Suspects arrested over Pattani bomb attack

Two suspects linked to the fatal bomb attack that killed four rangers and wounded five others in Pattani on Friday were apprehended on Saturday.

The unnamed suspects - identified only as two construction workers near the bomb location - reportedly had been detained once over suspicion of a separate bomb attack in 2015 but were released due to lack of evidence, a source at the security agency said.

The arrest was made around noon as the Thai authority dispatched some 500 tripartite forces of military, police and civilians backed by tanks, personnel carriers and a helicopter. They conducted searches at more than 10 locations in Pattani’s Sai Buri district on Saturday.
