Woman killed in Thai tea shop blast

A bomb has exploded in front of a crowded tea shop in southern Thailand, killing one woman and injuring 23 other people, police said.

The bomb was hidden in a bag and placed inside a telephone kiosk in front of a busy tea shop in Yala's urban area, said police Lt Col Jirasit Lomae.

The bombing appeared to be the latest attack by Islamic insurgents whose activities have led to more than 2,200 deaths since January 2004.
