Bombs kill six in Thailand

At least six people were killed in a series of bomb and gun attacks in Thailand's rebellious Muslim south, despite a post-coup government promising a peaceful solution to the insurgency, police said on Friday.
In a dawn attack, militants used a mobile phone to detonate a 10-kg (22-lb) bomb at a village teashop in Songkhla province's Taepa district aimed at police and soldiers who often drank morning coffee there, police said. Instead, they killed three civilians, two Muslims and a Buddhist, and wounded 13, police said. The bomb was hidden under a stone table where police and soldiers usually gathered for morning coffee, but the bomb exploded before they got there, police said.
