Thai terrorists attack military base, kill soldier
Separatist militants shot dead five people in Thailand's Muslim-majority south, where a bloody jihad insurgency marked its fifth anniversary at the weekend, police said Tuesday.

An unknown number of terrorists militants attacked a military base in troubled Pattani province early on Tuesday, sparking a 10-minute gun battle that left a 47-year-old ranger dead, said police.

New Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva vowed soon after he was elected by parliament on December 15 to ease the southern tensions. His Democrat Party counts the south as one of its strongholds.
