Police and Thailand's ruling junta have ruled out links between Tuesday's attack and the tourist-town bombings. "Last night another victim, a male age 64, died from head injuries sustained in the Pattani attack," Colonel Yutthanam Petchmuang, a spokesman for the Internal Security Operations Command, told Reuters. The victim was a shopowner who was caught in the second explosion at the entrance to the hotel. Police have issued warrants for three suspects in connection with the tourist town attacks but have given few details on the suspects. No group has claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack but experts say the attacks would appear to reflect frustration over the stalled negotiations.
