PATTANI, Thailand (AP) - A bomb exploded in the parking lot of an upscale hotel in Thailand's restive south on Saturday, killing two people and wounding 14 others, police said.
The blast shattered windows as high as the eighth floor of the C.S. Pattani Hotel, the largest hotel in Thailand's southern provinces, where a Muslim insurgency has been under way since 2004.
The bomb was hidden in a fire extinguisher inside a parked car near the hotel's entrance, said Col. Tawatchai Samutsakorn. Police found and defused a second bomb in a hotel restroom, he said.
