THAILAND-SOUTH-UNREST

Members of a bomb squad unit inspect the scene following five roadside bomb blasts at four separate locations by suspected separatist militants in Bacho district in Thailand's restive southern province of Narathiwat on February 13, 2016. Militants in the Muslim-majority southernmost provinces, who are seeking greater autonomy from Thailand which annexed the region more than a century ago, have launched near-daily bomb attacks and shootings since 2004, targeting mostly security officers but also teachers and other civilians viewed as instruments of the Thai state. In total, more than 6,500 people -- mostly civilians -- have died in the unrest at the hands of both insurgents and security forces.
