Attacks in Thaliand.

For some reason unknown to me, the western media isnt covering a story which i think needs some airtime.

Thailand, over the past week has experienced a series.. not just one or two but a SERIES of bombblasts

Bombs at Cafe's, airports, department stores and a college which so far have killed 4people and injured 74.

airports, shopping centres railways have all been put on HIGH alert.

the sophistication and techniques used are being blamed on outside help.

Could it be China just showing thailand there not scared to use there new law allowing war if thailand goes independant?

Cant say that i have heard about any of this, Maybe we could try find some links to some of these bombings,

Intresting stuff, any ideas on who is causing this?


Edit... got a link to a news site "thailand inthenews"

Two bomb blasts wound 14 (21 Mar 05)

Two bombs exploded in Yala and Narathiwat yesterday, wounding 14 people, including seven policemen and three soldiers, as violence continued to disrupt the restive southernmost provinces.

The first explosion occurred about 9.25am at a pavilion in Yala municipality when a police patrol stopped to search two men who were acting suspiciously. Seven policemen were injured in the explosion, which seriously wounded the two suspects, Asman Jehtae, 25, and Hadi Piya, 18, and hurt two other civilians.

Police regularly stop to rest at the pavilion. Investigators believed the two injured suspects planted the bomb.

GlobalDisorder,

Do you mean Thailand or Taiwan? Thailand has been an independent country since 1257 (Siam). Taiwan on the other hand was apart of China until the communist revolution but China still considers Taiwan a rogue province.

GlobalDisorder,

Well in that case, I doubt it is China. Although China did have intentions of moving into Thailand right after WWII, they are now fairly close allies. Plus, Thailand has long been an ally of the United States since WWII. Also, Thailand is in a treaty with other South East Asian countries in a type of balance of power against India, China, Japan, etc.

I would believe it to be some type of seperatist movement in the country.

I did a bit more searching and in 2003 Thailand captured Al-Qaida's top operations commander for South East Asia. Since then there has been constant attacks from, I'd assume, Al-Qaida

"Amongst the injured and French, British, Malaysian and citizens from Brunei, the devices were triggered by mobile telephone which thai authoirites believe the insurgents are getting outside help "

"The West Australian" Pg23

Didn't you guys get the memo?
WE are supposed to be raptly following the terri schiavo drama, the pope, and the jackson trial. Shame on you for reading print news and even worse foreign news... it's almost unamerican. As punishment for this The department of homeland security demands that both of you watch larry king live and the O'reilly factor every day this week and write a one page summary.

Seriously man they pay people good money to formulate stories to keep you from looking for news, and if you don't even pretend to be interested you will hurt their feelings.

I heard a very small mention of this on the radio this past weekend. If I recall, the atacks were instigated by muslims for whatever reason.

This is just another example of important world news being lost in the Schiavo-Pope-Jackson pablum that the media is feeding us. They know best what we should be focusing on, doncha know?:shk:

As AceOfBase put it in another thread, thank goodness for ATS.

Your right, the religion-of-peace is once again not able to get along with their neighbors. weather the neighbors are Hindu, Jewish or Christian.

Thailand could lose their tourism industry if this spins outta control. We all know Islamic terrorists like to go after the tourism industry.....did'nt they do that in Luxor, Egypt?
