Bomb kills one soldier, wounds 5 in Thailand

PATTANI, Thailand -- A roadside bomb in southern Thailand has killed one soldier and wounded five others. Police said the soldiers were on motorized patrol Monday morning in Narathiwat, one of three southernmost provinces facing an Islamic insurgency since early 2004. No one was arrested or claimed responsibility for the attack.

More than 3,300 people, mostly civilians, have been killed as a result of the violence. Attacks have generally taken the form of drive-by shootings and small-scale bombings intended to frighten Buddhist residents into leaving the predominantly Muslim area.
