Bandits in a mountainous and isolated province in northern central Laos have shot one person dead and injured three others in the latest of a series of attacks on vehicles passing through the region, said a retired Lao soldier close to a high-ranking officer in the Ministry of National Defense.
In the first incident on Dec. 15, 15 bandits shot two motorcyclists in Anouvong district of Xaysomboun province as they traveled along the road to Longchaeng district, 30 kilometers (98.4 feet) away, killing one and injuring another, he told RFA’s Lao Service, speaking on condition of anonymity.
