Suspected Islamists have struck a railroad in Southern Thailand according to the BBC… Suspected Islamic rebels have ambushed a train in southern Thailand, injuring at least 19 people, police say. 
The armoured railway carriage was on a routine inspection of track in the province of Narathiwat when two bombs exploded, overturning the train.
The police said the rebels then opened fire on the railway officials and their police escort.
It is the latest in a string of attacks which have killed as many as 600 people in southern Thailand in the past year.
The two blasts occurred at about 0615 local time on Sunday (2315 GMT Saturday) near the station of Sungai Kolok, close to the Malaysian border according to the BBC.
