Bomb kills seven soldiers in Thailand's restive south

A roadside bomb killed seven soldiers in Thailand's restive south Wednesday in what authorities described as the deadliest attack against security forces this year.
The soldiers were returning from a training session in an army pick-up truck when insurgents remotely detonated a 20 kg roadside bomb near a school in Narathiwat Province's Rangae district . All seven soldiers in the pickup truck were killed.
This was an act of revenge for the deaths of their people two months ago," declared Col Manot Anantarikul.
