Thai police say a wave of bomb blasts in the central and southern parts of the country is not linked to Islamic terrorism.

Multiple explosions hit at least four cities in Thailand overnight and on Friday, killing several people and wounding dozens more — including about 10 foreigners in the seaside town of Hua Hin.

Royal Thai Police official Col. Krisana Patanacharoen said it was too soon say who was behind the attacks, but "we are sure that it is not linked to terrorism."
