Thai Muslims held over terror plot
Thai authorities have arrested three Thai Muslims on charges of threatening national security. The men were arrested in southern Narathiwat province bordering Malaysia and have been linked with regional terrorism network Jemaah Islamiah (JI). One report said the men were plotting to attack Western embassies and a tourist spot in Bangkok. Australia and New Zealand last month advised against non-essential travel to Thailand, warning that the country was at risk of attack by Islamic militants.
