A bomb blast at Leegarden Plaza Hotel, Hatyai

A powerful car bomb blast which occurred at the basement car park of Leegarden Hotel in Hatyai on Satuarday, 31 March, 2012 left three civilians dead and wounded more than 350. It is alleged that a car planted with a bomb was parked at the basement of the hotel and later the bomb was detonated with a mobile phone. The police say that an insurgent group operating in the south of Thailand is behind the attack stated above. Muslim insurgents who demand that the three provinces in the south of Thailand; Yala, Patani, and Naratiwas, be separated from the kingdom Thailand has been one of the crucial problems that Thai government has been facing for the past few decades. The three provinces border Malaysia.
       However, terrorism or violence wherever exits in any form should be eradicated from any country for its progress. Selecting the path of violence may not be a civilized way of seeking a solution for a problem that a particular community has because terrorism causes not only damages to human and properties but also it creates a chaotic condition among the people of any given society.
