Thailand - Trouble with Islamists...

apparently the 28 bombs have been determined to be 22, and they were in banks, and damage was light, and maybe no injuries?!

BANGKOK - Thailand's army chief has said that government forces still do not know who they are fighting as they try to hunt down Islamic insurgents behind a wave of deadly violence in the south. The shadowy insurgency erupted in January 2004 in Buddhist Thailand's mainly Muslim provinces along the southern border with Malaysia. More than 1,400 people have been killed in almost daily attacks since.

The violence continued on Friday as a 73-year-old Buddhist villager was shot dead by two suspected Islamic militants in Yala, and a 58-year-old Buddhist trader was gunned down by insurgents Thursday in neighboring Pattani province.

The small bombs Thursday morning exploded almost simultaneously at 22 commercial bank branches around Yala. Most of the branches remained closed Friday for repairs, although most of the damage was minor.
