A 12-year-old girl was killed and seven people, including two other girls, were wounded in a roadside bomb attack near an army base in Thailand's insurgency-plagued south, police said Monday.

The attack came at the end of the Ramadan holy month, in which a spurt of attacks has occurred. It followed a major incident on Friday, in which a vehicle bomb exploded in a commercial district in Yala province, killing two people and wounding tens of other civilians.

More than 5,000 people have been killed in Thailand's three Muslim-dominated southernmost provinces since an Islamic insurgency erupted in 2004. The insurgents often target soldiers, police and civil servants such as teachers, but civilians, both Buddhist and Muslim, bear the brunt of the attacks.

Thailand, and all countries with a moslem insurgency, should start just killing every last moslem. islam is a satanic curse and must be eradicated

This was comparatively mild in that the girls were “collateral damage”.

There have been many incidents in that area of school kids - most girls, deliberately beheaded because they were Buddhist.

Also many laborers who were simply trying to eke out a living have been hacked to death for the same reason.

I think Muslim Malaysia to the south wants the offshore oil of Thailand’s southern part.
