YALA: A married couple died in an ambush by suspected Muslim militants in Thailand’s deep south on Monday and four bombs wounded 12 people in what one analyst said might be a signal by separatists to incoming Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

Police said a rubber tapper and his wife died of multiple gunshot wounds when they were ambushed while travelling on a motorcycle in Narathiwat province.

In nearby Yala province, three booby traps went off in quick succession at a rubber plantation, the first blowing off the leg of a rubber tapper and the other two wounding security and bomb disposal officers sent to the scene.

Police said the fourth bomb in a parked rubber plantation truck in another district destroyed the vehicle without causing any injury. ”Violent incidents tend to rise when there is a change of government,” Srisompob Jitpiromsri, an expert said. (Reuters)
