At least 19 people were injured by a car bomb in front of a massage parlor in the town of Narathiwat, about 750 kilometers south of Bangkok, police said. The explosion took place Saturday night. A group of strangers had shot before firing against a karaoke bar near the lounge. The explosives detonated when several soldiers and other curious people came to see what happened.
Authorities suspect Muslim separatists operating for decades in the region behind the attack. "These attacks seek to intimidate local residents and discourage them from cooperating with the Thai authorities," said the spokesman of the office for internal security in southern Thailand, Colonel Banphut Phonpian.
Muslim separatists fighting in three southern provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala for more autonomy. 80% of the two million inhabitants of the region are Muslim. Thailand is predominantly Buddhist.
