Thai terrorist killed in clash
A terrorist militant was gunned down in a clash with a joint police-military unit in Yala province on Wednesday.
After receiving a tip from locals that a man acting suspiciously was hiding in a house in Raman district, the joint security force surrounded the targeted house about 10:30 a.m.
After learning that he was surrounded, Asman Jehleng, 29, ran out of the house and fired shots from a 9mm pistol at the security team, who returned fire. The fight lasted about five minutes, and the suspect died at the scene.
Asman had been wanted on a warrant issued after an attack on a military base in Raman district in 2009 in which several soldiers were killed.
