SONGKHLA: A fire broke out in front of a motorcycle repair shop in Chana district of this southern province early on Sunday following a bomb explosion, damaging six motorcycles and the shop front. Police believed the fire was started by an incendiary bomb that went off in front of the motorcycle repair shop in tambon Ban Na at about 5am. A team of administrative officials and defence volunteers, led by assistant district chief Chalermchai Wisuthichanon, rushed to the scene on being informed of the incident. While the team was about 500 metres from the shop, a roadside bomb exploded, but nobody was hurt. The Songkhla provincial police headquarters subsequently alerted security units in Chana, Sabayoi, Thepha and Nathawi districts to be on the lookout for possible violence.
