One killed, 17 soldiers injured in Thai south
Suspected separatist insurgents killed and attempted to behead a Buddhist man on Monday, while 17 soldiers were injured in attacks in Thailand's troubled south, police said.
The 40-year-old Buddhist was shot dead by suspected Islamic rebels as he drove his motorcycle in Yala province. His neck was deeply slashed in an apparent attempt to behead him, police said.
Rebels also staged four separate attacks in one district in Narathiwat province Sunday evening. Within two hours of a school being set on fire, insurgents injured 17 soldiers in three ambushes and bomb attacks across the district.
