YALA, Thailand, July 17 (Reuters) - Two soldiers were killed and three wounded when a bomb hidden in a truck exploded in Thailand's restive deep south, police said on Friday.

The bomb was detonated remotely when a car carrying the troops drove through an urban area of Yala, one of three mainly Muslim provinces bordering Malaysia, where almost 3,500 people have been killed in five years of unrest.

No credible group has claimed responsibility for the near-daily gun and bomb attacks in the once-independent Malay Muslim region, annexed by mainly Buddhist Thailand in a 1909 treaty with Britain.

The 30,000 troops spread across the jungle-clad, rubber-rich region have struggled to tackle the unrest and successive Thai governments have publicly ruled out negotiations with the shadowy rebels, who have never stated their aims.

1. "...who have never stated their aims..."

Do we have to be rocket scientists to figure this out? Their aim is to terrorize and kill. Nothing more, nothing less.

The same with the terrorists in every corner of this world....the Muslim terrorists, the christian terrorists, the political terrorists, etc. Just terrorize and kill innocents. Angry, f*cked up minds do some terrible things. Always have, always will.

A cancer on humanity.
