BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - At least 29 bombs exploded Sunday in apparently coordinated attacks in parts of southern Thailand plagued by a Muslim insurgency, killing three people and wounding more than 50, the military said.
The bombings targeted hotels, karaoke bars, power grids and commercial sites in the country's southernmost provinces, the only parts of predominantly Buddhist Thailand with Muslim majorities. Two public schools were torched.
Sunday's attacks were first time insurgents struck all four of Thailand's Muslim-majority provinces at the same time, said army spokesman Col. Akara Thiprote. The bombs, triggered by digital watches, exploded between 7:15 and 8 p.m.
