Bangkok Post, March 18, 2012
A senior female Muslim student was killed and four others, including her
sister, were wounded in a bomb explosion in Pattani's Yarang district
yesterday.
The bomb, thought to be aimed at soldiers, exploded at about 11.30am.
A group of army rangers in a patrol vehicle overtook three motorcycles
carrying five students on Basa-ae-Nanet Road in tambon Pitumudee.
Just after the patrol vehicle overtook the motorcycles, a roadside
bomb went off. The students bore the full brunt of the explosion, while
the soldiers were unhurt.
The blast killed Hamsor Sadae, 19, a Matthayom 6 student and seriously wounded one of the other four.
The students were from Prasan Witthaya Foundation Islamic religious school.
The injured were Hamsor's younger sister Mareeyae Sadae, 17, who was
seriously wounded, Ar-eisor Salaema, 16, her younger sister Maseetor
Salaema, 13, and Mareeyae Dueramae, 17.
The victims were on their way home in tambon Parai of Mae Lan district after taking final examinations at their school.
A security source said the blast occurred only a few hours before a
ceremony was held to bring royally bestowed soil for the burial of
ranger Da-or Bahor, who was killed in a bomb attack in Panare district
on March 7.
