Three bombs exploded in Thailand's restive Muslim south on Thursday, police said, wounding at least nine people in a region where more than 600 people have died in 17 months of violence. The first bomb went off around 7:30 a.m. (0030 GMT) at a food stall near a train station in Songkhla province, wounding three people. An hour later, a second blast outside the home of the provincial chief judge in Yala province wounded five police officers, police said. A third bomb hidden under a pickup truck parked near Yala's City Hall wounded a female passenger, Reuters quoted a witness as saying.
