Ramadan Bombing in Marketplace in Thailand, 3 Dead, Including 14-Year-Old Boy

The jihad in Thailand continues unabated. Racked by Islamic terror and violence, this peaceful Buddhist country cannot sustain this relentless campaign of terror and carnage. Where are the news reports on this horror? The cries of buddhaphobia?

“Around 7,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in violence that rarely makes international headlines”

Pattani: Two people, including a 14-year-old boy, were killed in a market place bombing in Thailand´s Muslim-majority south, a military spokesman said Tuesday.

Thailand´s three southernmost provinces, Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat, have since 2004 been plagued with conflict between ethnic Muslim rebels and the Buddhist-majority Thai state, which annexed the region around a century ago.

Around 7,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in violence that rarely makes international headlines despite taking place a few hours south of some of Thailand´s tourist hotspots.

On Monday afternoon, the insurgents detonated a motorcycle bomb at a crowded market place in Nong Chik, Pattani province, killing two civilians.

“A 14-year-old boy and a 38-year-old woman died,” Colonel Thanawee Suwannathat, spokesman for the southern army, told AFP.

Four military rangers were wounded in the blast.

The highly secretive rebels, who are pushing for autonomy from Thailand, operate in small village cells, with their senior leaders based overseas far from the reach of Thai authorities.

The region usually sees an uptick in violence during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends next week.

Monday´s violence came a day after another bomb attack in Songkhla province killed a police officer at a checkpoint, wounding three others.

Video footage of Sunday´s attack showed a plume of thick smoke as the blast went off, leaving a police officer´s body lying in the middle of the road.

Thailand´s junta leader Prayut Chan-O-Cha — who is expected to return as a civilian prime minister in the coming days — condemned the latest attacks as “inhuman”.

Peace talks have been inconclusive despite an intensification of army operations in the border zone with Malaysia.
