Shootings, destruction and arrests in southern Thailand
Two Muslim brothers were killed in this restive southern border province late Wednesday night. Police said the brothers - Yahya Maeyoh, 22, and Manu Maeyoh, 21, were shot and killed on a village road of Pasaeduwoh village in Tambon Borgnor in Ragnae district at 12:30 am. They were shot at while riding their motorcycle to a relative's house and the shooting took place just 30 metres away from the two's house.

Police said the shooting might be motivated by personal conflicts but police would not rule out terrorists insurgency as the cause of the attacks yet.

And:

Violence intensified Thursday as the owner of a recycling and scavenger shop was shot, and seriously wounded in Yala, and a rubber plantation was destroyed in Narathiwat. The Yala shopowner identified only as Yanyong was shot when an intruding gunman entered his shop in Yala municipality, shot the victim, and fled the scene.

Meanwhile in Narathiwat, about an acre of a local rubber plantation was felled. Symbolically, an unfired bullet and leaves were attached to a tree in a cross sign as a warning to threaten the owner of the rubber plantation to leave the area. The police gathered evidence to hunt the hateful terrorists presumed insurgents.

Plus:

Four suspected terrorists insurgents were arrested Thursday morning when police and soldiers searched three villages in Thailand's restive southern border province of Narathiwat, local media reported. Two of them were arrested after police and soldiers spent about four hours searching through Moo 1 village in Sungai Kolok district. Police and soldiers also spent about three hours to search Moo 4 and Moo 6 villages in Muang district and arrested two other suspects.
