Thai officers identify terrorist road kill
Police have identified one of four terror insurgent suspects involved in a drive-by killing of a teacher in Yarang district on Friday.

Ibrohem Sulaiman, 21, was killed after his motorcycle crashed into an electricity pole while he was chasing a pick-up truck driven by 45-year-old teacher Pap Lamjueajan. The pillion passenger on the motorbike managed to shoot and kill Pap before the bike hit the pole. Pap died in his car, according to police. Ibrohem was wanted by police on an arrest warrant for involvement in shooting a defence volunteer in Yala province.

The gunman who sat behind him on the motorcycle was injured, but managed to flee on another motorcycle that followed, witnesses said. He sought treatment at Yala central hospital, but, according to police, left before doctors could reach him as police had started searching hospitals. Police declined to release his name or those of the other two suspects.

Pap was a teacher of Ban Krue Se school in Yarang district. He was shot by the terror insurgent group as he was leaving the district for his home in Yala province. Schools open for the new term later this month. Pap's death has caused new concern among teachers in the province as they are among targets of separatists in the deep South.

Meanwhile, in Yala, a bomb ripped off a villager's foot yesterday as he was working on his rubber plantation in Ban Palas in Than To district, police said. The bomb went off as Wichit Duangtem and his wife were tapping rubber in the early morning. The man stepped on the bomb placed underground near a rubber tree.

Also yesterday, in Bannang Sata district, 147 villagers of Ban Ubae joined a ceremony to declare they are not part of the jihadi insurgent movement, and promised to help police bring peace to their neighbourhood. The ceremony, held by military rangers, police and provincial officials, was organised after terrorists insurgents had used the village to hatch their plots. The terrorists' insurgents' presence had upset village members who agreed to take part in the ceremony so they could declare their innocence.
