Gas Tank Explosion Rocks City Steet, Linked to Local Terrorist Acts

The explosion occurred on 6.4.2014 in Yala, Thailand. The incident was initially thought to have been caused by an unstable gas canister stored in a car, however other explosions in the area quickly dismissed that theory. Yala Governor Dejrat Simsiri said a series of blasts occurred over 10 minutes at around midday in the commercial district of Yala city. Two of the bombs were hidden in motorcycles and the third in a car, with police confirming their detonation via mobile/cell phone. Thailand's three southernmost provinces have been plagued by bomb attacks and shootings since 2004.
