Security around the Malaysia-Thailand border has been tightened after two Malaysian men were wounded in a roadside bomb blast in Narathiwat province, an area riven by a deadly insurgency against Bangkok.While police say the men – Abdullah Syarapi Abd Rahman, 45, and Muhammad Yusri Udin, 38, both from Kelantan – are not believed to have been the target of the improvised explosive device (IED), the incident highlights the dangers of the ongoing conflict in Thailand’s southernmost provinces.Several thousand people – civilians, rebels and Thai security forces – have died in the last two decades in the Malay-Muslim majority south, in near daily shootings, ambushes and bomb attacks that rarely garner international headlines.
