Three explosions went off within 10 minutes of each other today in the southern province of Thailand, Yala. This violence is believed to be the responsibility of Muslim insurgents and has been quite common in the southern-most provinces since 2004. Since that time there have been over 4,300 killed in the region due to violent attacks.
This article was a real eye-opener to me. I feel that we are fortunate to live in such a stable and safe country. Though we are visiting Thailand, I'm not too worried about this type of violence, especially since we will be staying much farther north than the areas affected by the violence in the south.
