January 15     0 1  Myanmar, Yangon: Police and eyewitnesses report that a small bomb exploded at the Bahan Post Office near downtown Yangon on Monday in the early afternoon, seriously injuring one postal worker. The post office sustained little damage, but the explosion caused panic in the building and surrounding area. On Thursday, the Vigorous Burmese Student Warriors—an exiled activist group committed to the overthrow of the military junta that rules Burma—issued a statement taking responsibility for the post office attack and warning of more attacks in the future. The group also claimed to have sent parcel bombs to the Chinese embassy and the headquarters of the Union Solidarity Development Association—a political organization linked to the junta.[11]
January 15     0 2  Thailand, Narathiwat: On Monday morning, two police officers were injured in a bomb attack against a railway in the Rangae district of Narathiwat.

The 15 kg bomb damaged the train track and caused a suspension of service between Tanyongmas and Sungai Kolok. The bomb was remotely detonated by mobile phone. Islamic insurgents in Thailand's south continue to target civilians, educators, police, military, as well as religious and community leaders in a campaign of drive-by shootings, arson, and bomb attacks aimed at destabilizing society and pressing for independence from Thailand. The current insurgency has been underway since January 2004.[12]
January 16     70 170  Iraq, Baghdad: Three explosive devices, including one detonated by a suicide bomber, killed at least seventy students and injured as many as 170 others at Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. The attack occurred as students, the majority women, were leaving campus for the day. The first bomb exploded near the University's entrance and the second close to another exit. The suicide bomber was discovered by guards and detonated his device prematurely, killing himself but wounding only two people. Attacks on educational institutions are frequent in Iraq, as militants attempt to disrupt the country's reconstruction. This attack, however, may have also had sectarian motivations. Mustansiriya University's students are predominantly Shiite, many from the nearby neighborhood of Sadr City. Students report that the University has come under greater influence of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, with some reporting deputies enforcing a strict Islamic dress code and monitoring of students' personal lives. These changes would make the campus a prime target for Sunni militants. The attack also occurred the day after Barzan Ibrahim Hasan and Awad Hamed Bandar, two high-level Sunni officials under Saddam Hussein, were executed for their involvement in the 1982 massacre of 148 Shiite men and boys in Dujail. Attacks were especially violent the day Hussein was executed in late December. It is significant to note that On 4 December 2006 Ansar al-Sunnah issued a video calling on Sunni students and professors to suspend all academic activities at Baghdad universities. The video denounced killings by death squads and asked those of all sects to abide by the decision. There is no indication that the group was involved in this attack, however.[13]
January 16     6 11  Iraq, Baghdad: A bomb exploded inside a minibus as it drove through Sadr City, a Shiite area of Baghdad, killing six people and wounding eleven others. Attacks on transportation networks are frequent in Iraq, however this attack likely also had sectarian motivations.[14]

Attacks on police are frequent in Iraq.[15]
