Thailand, Yala. 17/07/2007 Insurgents lured a bomb disposal squad and a crowd to a blast site then exploded another, bigger device in downtown Yala, killing a bomb expert and injuring 18 other people including Bangkok Post stringer Maluding Deeto.

Pol Snr Sgt-Maj Subin Paritmongkol, who lost both his arms and legs and suffered 80% burns, died in hospital 3 hours later.

The officer was part of a four-man bomb disposal team called to check on a minor bomb attack at 7.15am.

The front basket of a motorcycle exploded outside the Yala Boonsri shop on Rod Fai road, near the railway station.

During an inspection of the motorbike, a powerful bomb hidden inside went off, injuring police officers, news reporters and bystanders.

Police confirmed that the officers had followed standard procedures _ sealing off the area and cutting off mobile phone signals _ to prevent a second strike.

But the second blast was detonated by a remote control whose inconsistent frequency could not be intercepted, police said.

The first bomb was a low-powered one wired to an alarm clock.
Eight policemen including four bomb disposal experts were injured.

Pol Snr Sgt-Maj Subin, one of the experts, died in hospital three hours later.

The three other bomb experts, who remained in hospital, are Pol Snr Sgt-Maj Sanan Suanchan, Pol Sgt-Maj Paisan Pimthong and Pol Lt Pairoj Muangsuwan.

The four other wounded officers are Pol L/C Pachon Bua-im, Pol Capt Sucharit Wongket, Pol Snr Sgt-Maj Prasit Boonma and Pol Sgt-Maj Sa-nguan Kaewsuksai.

Pol Snr Sgt-Maj Prasit and Pol Sgt-Maj Sa-nguan were later released from hospital.

Four reporters were injured _ Mr Maluding, Ahmad Ramansiriwong from TITV and the Issara News Centre, Akekarak Srirung from Channel 3 television and Surapan Boontanom from the local Chao Tai daily.
Mr Maluding and Mr Ahmad remained in hospital.
Seven bystanders sustained minor injuries.

Damn, that is gruesome. Fully engulfed in flames from your own clothes burning, both lower legs broke,and who knows what else, and still living and moving... for 3 more hours.

Not to nitpick but the title of the thread says 2 killed but the story says only 1? Did another die later?
