Another wave of explosions rocked Thailand's troubled deep South Friday morning, following Thursday bombing that killed 3 and injured more than 20 persons.

The bombs were mostly located at railway station restrooms across the three border provinces, and while few persons were injured, many have been inconvenienced.

In Yala, the first bomb went off at 7 a.m. (0000 GMT) at the provincial railway station. The bomb which was planted in a station toilet caused some damage to the building but no injuries were reported.

About 8:30 a.m. (0130 GMT), a car bomb exploded at Manangdama intersection in Yala's Kabang district. Assistant district officer Mustorfah Masaa, his wife Paweena were seriously injured and taken to Yala hospital. Their car was completely destroyed.

In Pattani, a bomb inside a toilet at Khok Pho district railway station exploded, without causing injuries.

Five bomb incidents were reported almost simultaneously at different locations in three districts of Narathiwat. The first explosion was in a toilet at Tanyong Mat railway station in Rangae district at 6:50 a.m. (0150 GMT). A second bomb went off in a toilet at Maruebo-ok railway station in the same district, with several persons reportedly injured.

About the same time a bomb exploded in a garbage bin at Sungai Kolok railway station, near the Malaysian border. The explosion caused no injuries.

A fourth bomb was at a ticketing booth at Ban Lalo railway station in Rue So district, but was defused before it exploded.

The latest explosion took place along a road some 500 meters from the Rue So district office, also with no reported injuries.

A joint security force of over 100 military, police, and civilian personnel searched three targeted houses in Rangae district and found an Indonesian man and a bag of urea nitrate -- a chemical substance thought to be used in making explosives -- and metal spikes. The foreigner was brought to Rangae district for initial questioning before being remanded to the Royal Thai Army southern region command in Yala.
