photographers show the damage done at the back of the CS Pattani Hotel in the second car bomb attack against the luxury hotel in four years.
=======================================================================
The second car bomb attack in four years has again damaged the luxury CS Pattani Hotel and wounded three people.
The 7:15pm blast caused a fire that burned up to the seventh flood. It caused unknown damage but caused on further casualties.
Police evacuated the hotel and explosives experts jammed all mobile phone signals in the city centre in case of more attempts to set off bombs.
Police estimated that the bomb was a 10kg device hidden in a pickup truck parked behind the CS Pattani.
The explosion was large enough to blow out a nearby power transformer, plunging most of Pattani into darkness.
A second bomb was heard a few minutes after the car bomb, apparently in the Paknam area of the city.
The hotel was attacked in 2008 by car bombers, killing three people and wounding 10 others.
