From [1] CNN, "Three bombs explode in Thai south," & Two Stellas:

YALA, Thailand - Three bombs exploded in Thailand's restive Muslim south on Thursday, police said, wounding at least nine people in a region where more than 600 people have died in 17 months of violence...

The largely Malay-speaking southern region, where separatists fought low-key insurgencies in the 1970s and 1980s, has been rocked by almost daily blasts and killings since the violence erupted in January 2004.
