Ethnic Malay Muslims represent the majority of the population in the southernmost provinces of predominantly Buddhist Thailand

This incredible sequence of pictures captures the moment a car bomb exploded this morning in Thailand’s southern province of Narathiwat.
The images show a member of a Thai bomb squad standing to the left of the car as it is blown apart in the blast.
The man was hurt in the blast although the extent of his injuries is unknown.
The bomb is believed to have been planted by separatist militants behind the uprising by the Malaysian border, in the south of the country.
More than 4,500 people, both Muslims and Buddhists, have died in almost daily attacks since the uprising began in 2004.
Critics accuse the government of failing to address the grievances of Thailand’s Malay Muslim minority, including alleged abuses by the military and a perceived lack of respect for their ethnic identity, language and religion.
Last week a triple bombing killed two villagers and wounded nine others – four of which were police who had rushed to the scene of the explosion to help victims.
The devices had been buried at three different locations around a reservoir in Narathiwat province.
Narathiwat and neighbouring Yala and Pattani have seen a shift in the scale and sophistication of insurgent attacks in the past few months, with Muslim and Buddhist villagers, soldiers, police and school teachers among the victims of coordinated bombings and ambushes.
Ethnic Malay Muslims represent the majority of the population in these southernmost provinces of predominantly Buddhist Thailand.
The government and military have sought to curtail the unrest with development projects and public relations campaigns to try to discourage support for the shadowy rebels but the measures have largely failed.
Thailand's opposition party Puea Thai, which leads the ruling Democrat Party in most opinion polls ahead of a July 3 general election, has pledged, if elected, to turn the region into a special administrative region, which it believes could help to reduce the violence.

Wow, fucking unlucky. Also, if you're thinking of travelling there, only go to Bangkok or other developed places.
I want to know if that guy lived or not.
It says he was injured, and not necessarily killed. It'd most likely say if he was killed.
However it admits not being clear on the full extent of his injuries.
Did the hundred thousand dollar suit work?
Looks like most of the blast went away from him.

I think they are going to need a bit more than a tow truck to haul that away

Well its designed to protect against bombs.

"The blast shreds the body of the vehicle,[B] injuring[/B] the bomb squad member"
wow D:
Explosive disposal people are really fucking courageous to do this stuff.
IEDs are more liable to explode randomly then when detonated by whoever made it.
Hope the guy in the pictures isn't going to be affected for the rest of his life by his injuries.
His hands are probably going to be fucked up for the rest of his life

now it has a good story for the sequel to base off from
By injured it probably means little tiny cut on his pinky.

He walked away like saying "The Bomb exploded! The fuck with this shit, I'm getting a new job" sort of thing
but in actual fact, he is laughing in madness that he survive. He must have been terrified

It's odd how the captions say he was blown away nearly 10 meters, but in the video it only looks like 3 or 4.
Eh, maybe I'm just bad at judging distances.

Looks more like ten feet than ten meters.
