Arson and bomb attacks hit Thailand's deep south, authorities say

Suspected insurgents set fire to government buildings, shops, cars ​and utility poles in more than 70 ​locations across four of Thailand's southernmost ‌provinces over the ​weekend, injuring at least three people in a coordinated series of arson attacks, authorities said.

More than 7,800 people have been killed in provinces bordering ‌Malaysia since 2004, when the latest round of a long-running insurgency led mainly by the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) flared.
