THAILAND: Six people were killed and at least 50 injured in bomb attacks by Muslim insurgents.
The blasts last night were the first time the insurgents have struck four regions - Yala, Narathiwat, Pattani and Songkhla - at the same time.
The violence near the Malaysian border continued this morning when a homemade bomb killed a Thai army officer near his home in Yala province.
Violence in the south has been escalating in recent months despite a policy shift by the military-imposed government.
More than 2000 people have died in the four provinces since the insurgency erupted in 2004.
