Terrorists murder four civilians in southern Thailand
A pregnant woman killed in ambush on teachers among the victims

Terrorists Seperatist militants in Thailand's Muslim-majority south have shot dead four civilians including two female Buddhist teachers, one of whom was pregnant, police said on Wednesday. The violence erupted a day before the country's education minister was due to visit the troubled region, where more than 3,600 people have been killed during a five-year insurgency.

Gunmen disguised as soldiers ambushed a vehicle carrying teachers in Narathiwat province late on Tuesday, stopping them with a fake warning that a bomb was being defused on the road ahead before opening fire, police said. The attack killed one teacher instantly while a colleague who was eight months pregnant died on the way to hospital, police said. Two other teachers and the driver were wounded.

Also in Narathiwat, a Muslim man was shot and killed in a late night attack at a local teashop and a Buddhist scrap dealer died in a separate drive-by shooting.
