[00:00:05] when nine bombs exploded across Bangkok around midnight

[00:00:11] Three Thai citizens were killed and more than 30 injured.

[00:00:17] No terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombings

[00:00:21] by Tuesday.

[00:00:23] Some believe the explosions were the work of Muslim separatists.

[00:00:29] Bombings and shootings occur almost daily in Thailand's three

[00:00:34] Southern most provinces.

[00:00:36] Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani have a dominant Muslim population

[00:00:43] and have long complained of neglect and discrimination in the

[00:00:47] largely Buddhist nation.

[00:00:56] Since 2004, the insurgents have carried out numerous attacks in

[00:01:01] the south and more than 1,900 people have been killed The Thai

[00:01:08] government has been unable to curb the violence though

[00:01:12] thousands of troops have been sent to the south.
