Thaksin failed to pacify the jihadists with origami. What will he try next? From Reuters, with thanks to Twostellas:
JOH AIRONG, Thailand (Reuters) – Two bombs have exploded in Thailand’s restive south, wounding eight people, officials say.
The blasts occurred hours before Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra meets top aides on Monday to revise security tactics in the region ahead of a visit there later this week.Thaksin, who won a second term in a landslide last week but not one seat in the largely Muslim south, said he would improve coordination of efforts to restore peace in the region, where more than 500 people have been killed since January last year.
