Gun battle leaves four Thai terrorists dead
Four suspected terrorists militants were killed in a gunfight with state security force in Yala province early Friday morning.

At about 6:30 a.m. the joint military ranger and border patrol police force surrounded a house in a local village believed to be a hideout of a core member and supporters of an insurgent group.

The authorities urged the terrorists militants to surrender by loudspeaker, but they responded with a hail of bullets. The joint force returned fire. The gun battle lasted about 10 minutes.

When the scene cleared, authorities found four dead terrorists militants and seized two AK47 rifles, a .38 caliber pistol and ammunition.

The three dead terrorists militants were identified as Arsae Hulu, 30, Masawbee Arsue, 28, and Muhammad Orlee, 28. The last one has yet to be identified.

Arsae Hulu was wanted on a warrant for being involved in several shootings and bomb attacks in Yala.
