 BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Groups of armed men attacked a police station and a government office Monday in southern Thailand, less than 24 hours after the area was shaken by bombings that killed two people at its main airport.
The organized assaults in Joh Irong district of Narathiwat province, and Sunday's deadly bombings in nearby Songkhla province, raised concerns an Islamic insurgency in the region was gaining momentum.
No casualties were reported among the defenders in Monday's assaults, in which the attackers used one or more M-79 grenade launchers, said police Col. Thanongsak Wangsupah.
