A car bomb explodes as a member of a Thai bomb squad was inspecting it in Narathiwat province, south of Bangkok on July 1. The bomb squad member was wounded when the device exploded, police said.







Three hidden roadside bombs have killed two people and wounded 13 others in southern Thailand, and police believe Islamist militants are responsible.

Police Col. Nitinai Langyanay said the first bomb in Narathiwat province killed two irrigation workers Friday and wounded five others, while a second one about 1 kilometer (one-half mile) away wounded a soldier.

Bomb removal officers then tried to defuse a third bomb only three meters (yards) away from the second one but it exploded, wounding seven policemen. It is a standard practice of the insurgents to plant a second bomb to go off when security officials arrive to investigate an explosion.

great story.

GREAT shots!!!!

[güttsfükk]

great collection of images

[gatagato]

Incredibly good quality images:
I wonder how do they managed to catch them: they're either screen-grabs from a video, or photos taken with a camera set to take a shot every very short time interval, (some milliseconds), and with some extremely short exposure time. The shots are so good that probably the photographer was happy that the bomb exploded

Ah! Good questions.

I am willing to bet that the photographer was thrilled to be on the scene.

I am analyzing the car. Multiple communication antennas? Is that glass heavily fortified or just the way that the photo came out? Who's car was this?

I know this is wrong... Bullwinkle the Moose?

great pictures, that guy is lucky to of only been wounded.

[kellyhound]

wonder if the antennas placed on the rear window had anything to do with remote controlled explosion.

[rottenflesh]

Having the door opposite him was smart as the majority of the explosion's energy was released in that direction.

Energy takes the path of least resistance.
