Terrror in Thailand

Thailand has been dealing with an Islamist insurrection for years and the terrorism has continued even as the government has tried to appease the Islamists.

Terrorism continues, including an attack that was caught on tape:



UPDATE:
More background on the attack, which also happened to injured a Time journalist and six others. (HT Weasel Zippers)

UPDATE:
Why does the media focus on the injured Time photographer, and not on the fact that a Buddhist man was murdered and his body turned into a booby trap with the express purpose of killing and maiming those who came to attend to his body? The bomb was designed to kill the responders. That no one was killed is nothing short of a miracle. Yet, the news report headlines the journalist being injured. Nice way to maintain focus on what's important.
