Roadside blast kills 10 in Thailand

Ten paramilitary troops were killed when their truck struck a roadside bomb in southern Thailand on Thursday.
The bomb exploded in Bannang Sata district in Yala province as government-hired paramilitary rangers drove by, a Thai Army spokesman said.
Two rangers were slightly wounded and the truck was damaged.
The rangers had earlier been negotiating with Muslim protesters in a nearby district.
The area has been under a military curfew since a deadly bombing at a mosque and a grenade attack on a tea shop that left 10 people dead on March 14.
Thailand is overwhelmingly Buddhist, but Muslims are a majority in the deep south, where they have long complained of discrimination.
Buddhists living and working in southern Thailand have been the targets of Muslim insurgents.
However, Muslims - mostly those working for the government - have increasingly fallen victim to the violence in recent months.
