One thing very very puzzle is that: what are these people trying to prove by bombing here and there? They can't get people to respect them by doing so. Lee Garden may well be a very prominent target, besides Novetel. As if the rumour about the cracks in Lee gARDEN after the earth quack is not bad enough....it all seems gloomy for Hatyai for a while...

if these people can think properly they won't bomb here and there. Really curious what difficulties are the thai government facing in wiping them out.

Its the same problem faced when not everyone in area is a terrorist, as in any situation, only a small percentage are hard liner=extremist(terrorist) so cant really see the good guys from the bad. Same situation USA facing in Iraq. They smile at U during the day and say they your friends, then shoot and bomb your ass at nite.

Thai officials claiming that there'll be more bombing in HDY.

Hope TV could give fellow cheongsters his view on the situation.

Tks.

Powerful bomb defused at Hat Yai trade centre
Published on Apr 08 , 2005

Police have defused a bomb in the commercial district of Hat Yai, where suspected Muslim planted a bomb last Sunday in an usual attack outside their usual target area, security officials said Friday.

The remote-controlled 3 kg device, similar to last Sunday's bombs were made with gunpowder and fertiliser, was defused by bomb experts, a senior policeman said.

"The bomb was connected to a mobile phone and meant to cause damages, rather than take lives, otherwise it would have contained

a lot of nails," the officer said.

Police did not say where the bomb was found, but local newspapers suspect it was in a rubbish bin next to a major department store, but failed to explode as it was not wired properly.

The store manager said the bomb was found by a garbage collector at a dump site.

Sounds like the situation is very bad, compare to what I watch from the news are always about the police solving the cases and reassuring the ppl everything is fine. Actually I wanted to pm u and was contemplating to go to haadyai for 2 or 3 days for cheonging after I finish reporting my gf in Maesai for Songkran cos I got a week break from work. Looks like have to postpone it until the situation gets better......

it was published in The Nation....think nothing serious abt this

I think it'll be better for fellow cheongsters to make your own decision on whether we shld stay away from HDY for a while. It'll be difficult for one to discourage others from visiting the area if there's a conflict of interest by doing so.

No offence to anyone. Tks.

I am amused by the officer's irrational assessment.....
Wouldn't damages to buildings take lives as well?
And why do U need nails to kill people? "Blown to bits", not nails is the name of game of bombs

I think its best for the time being to lie low. Maybe Bangkok safer...but Hatyai?

How rightly you have put it. Well I dont think anyone need more than common sense to assess the risk during Songkran week when the bombing could occured in airport and one of the popular shopping center which both are non-politic, non-religion, non-government related place. If it's not for attention catching, what are the intentions? If Songkran is not the best time doing so, what could be the best time?

Well, having said so, I believe it wont deter any hardcore cheongsters to enjoy their plan as they believe they could never be the lucky one. Just pray they dont be at the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason.
