NARATHIWAT: Seventeen people were wounded in Thailand's insurgency-ridden far south when insurgents launched a grenade attack on a karaoke bar and then detonated a bomb nearby, police said Sunday.
Two women were injured in the M-79 attack on the bar in Narathiwat town on Saturday night, which was followed 25 minutes later by a bomb blast in front of a massage parlour just 100 metres away, wounding 15 people.
Among those hurt by the explosion, which also badly damaged nearby buildings and cars, were two boys and a girl all aged about nine, police said. Last Sunday a car bomb exploded injuring 18 people, including four soldiers, in Yala the main city in one of three provinces near the Malaysian border that have been under emergency rule since 2005.
