BANGKOK — One person died
and more than two dozen were injured in
Thailand after a car bomb exploded
outside police accommodation on Tuesday, a provincial governor said.

The attack took
place around noon in Narathiwat, one of the country’s southernmost provinces.
A low-level
conflict has simmered in Thailand’s south since 2004, killing more than 7,000
people, as rebels in the Muslim-majority region battle for greater autonomy
from the state.
Narathiwat governor
Sanan Pongaksorn told AFP a suspect had driven a car into police accommodation
before abandoning the vehicle.
A bomb exploded
shortly after the car was parked, the governor said, adding that police were
checking security camera footage to identify the suspect and are investigating
possible motives.
He said one person
was killed and 28 others were injured, including two in critical condition.
The southern
region — heavily policed by Thai security forces — is culturally distinct from
Buddhist-majority Thailand, which colonized the area bordering Malaysia over a
century ago. In September, a roadside bomb blast killed one police officer and
wounded three others.
