"We are not sure which group of suspected Muslim insurgents were behind this but we are looking" -- eight murdered in Thailand bombings

They're not sure which ones, but they know it involved Misunderstanders of the Religion of Peace. "Three deadly explosions hit Yala in southern Thailand, officials say," from the BBC, March 31 (thanks to A):

At least eight people have been killed in three explosions in the southern Thai province of Yala, officials say.

Yala Governor Dejrat Simsiri said the blasts occurred over 10 minutes at around midday (06:00 BST) in the commercial district of Yala city.

He said two of the bombs were hidden in motorcycles and the third in a car.

Thailand's three southern-most provinces have been plagued by bomb attacks and shootings since 2004, when a separatist campaign reignited.

"We are not sure which group of suspected Muslim insurgents were behind this but we are looking," Mr Dejrat said.

The Associated Press and Reuters news agencies put the death toll from Saturday's bombings at eight, with around 70 wounded. AFP quoted a nurse in the emergency unit of Yala provincial hospital as saying nine people had died.

"There are nine dead now and 112 injured people sent to our hospital," the hospital worker told AFP.

Thai police told AFP a policeman had also been injured in a separate motorcycle attack in Mae Lan in neighbouring Pattani province.

Thai officials said another explosion on Saturday - at a hotel in the city of Hat Yai, Songkhla province - was due to a gas leak and unrelated to the attacks, Associated Press reported.

More than 4,300 people have been killed in the violence in southern Thailand. As of 2011, the Thai army had 60,000 forces stationed in the region to tackle the insurgency.

Thailand annexed the three provinces - Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani - in 1902, but the majority of people there are Muslim and speak a Malay dialect, in contrast with the Buddhists in the rest of the country who speak Thai.

Critics accuse the government of failing to address the grievances of these residents.

Of course. It's always the other guy's fault.

Does it matter which Muslim insurgent group?? Just the Muslim insurgent group is sufficient!! There is Islamic elephant in the room and everybody is looking out side the room. Morons!!

Precisely! They should simply kick them all out of that country into Malaysia, and not bother about which group it is. I just wonder what it would take for Thailand to go to war against Malaysia.

Another blood sacrifice for Islam!

Y - whenever I have a grievance, I go out and kill someone.
Preferably someone involved with my grievance, but ultimately anyone will do....

Man, those nigerians, thais, russians, chinese, americans, canadians, argentinians, germans, swedes, french, spaniards, somalians, brits, norwegians, danish, ethiopian, kenyans, indians... They're all so f'ing islamophobic. Clearly the problem on planet earth is... non-muslims, obviously.

One of the critics was Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam - and of course the grievance is that the Muslims in southern Thailand want to break away and form an Islamic state - which almost always seems to be the grievance behind Islamic insurgencies around the world.

And of course everyone else is at fault for not giving - it to them!!

Critics accuse the government of failing to address the grievances of these residents.
I'd be virtually certain these

I'm certain the "critics" are those of the religion of pieces.

Muzlum grievances - there's no black hole anywhere in the universe big enough that could be filled up with muzlum grievances.

Check under every rock, you're certain to find them there ...

oops sloppy editing my bad...

My Muslim aquaintance excused the Toulouse murders with one word: "Iraq".
I wonder if he will use the same word for this atrocity. He might as well, because it seems any murder of non-Muslims can be "justified" by any incident from the present or deepest history in which a Muslim died at the hands of a non-Muslim for whatever reason.

The same friend, who lives in a Muslim country, talked about the terrible suffering of black people present in the Western world. I had a good laugh with my Sudanese friends about that one over some nicely brewed coffee in a friendly Ethiopian restaurant...
