NARATHIWAT: At least four people were injured when three bombs exploded simultaneously at several locations in Sungai Golok, southern Thailand, near Rantau Panjang in Kelantan.
Captain Traipop Donprai-laorong, from the Sungai Golok police station, said the bombs exploded at about 6pm (local time).
“The motive of the bomb attacks is believed to be to sabotage the Sungai Golok Annual Food Festival (which began last) Saturday and ends this Wednesday,” he told reporters here today.
He said the first bomb exploded in front of a temple at Jalan Pracharat, while the second exploded behind Plaza Hotel. The third bomb detonated at Lorong Raman.
The explosions caused panic among local residents and foreign tourists at the border town. – BERNAMA
