Targets of the Thursday night attacks included residential areas, a Buddhist temple, telecommunications and waterworks buildings, a local government office and a royally sponsored development project. They were detonated with timing devices, while the blast on Friday was set off remotely by radio, Pramote said.
More than 5,000 people have been killed since an insurgency erupted in 2004 in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces, the only ones with Muslim majorities in the Buddhist-dominated country.
