Three die after standoff in southern Thailand
Authorities in Thailand say a policeman and two suspected Muslim terrorists militants have died after a five-hour standoff at a jihadi separatist hideout in the south of the country. They say the terrorists militants had refused to surrender to about 100 government security personnel laying siege to their hideout in Pattani. Government forces surrounded the house after its two heavily armed occupants shot at a police squad attempting to search the place, killing an officer and wounding four.
