Gun battle leaves four terrorists, two policemen dead
Security forces in Narathiwat province killed four terrorists insurgents on Saturday, including Abdul Roheng Da-eso, alias "Black Pele", in a 15-minute gun battle that left two policemen dead. About 50 police and soldiers raided a house after authorities were told by an informant that a group of key terrorists insurgents, including Abdul, were hiding there.

While approaching the house, the troops were spotted by the terrorists insurgents who opened fire, sparking a fierce exchange that lasted about 15 minutes. As the battle raged, Pol Lt Col Atipat Supanwiwat and Pol Sgt Maj Wichit Otthon were gunned down and Pol Sgt Yothin Chantaradet was wounded. The battle ended when seven terror insurgent suspects surrendered and exited the house.

In the house, four suspects were found dead, one of whom was identified as Abdul, who faced more than 10 arrest warrants for violent attacks in Rueso district.

In a separate operation, soldiers nabbed two men suspected of being involved in a bombing that killed four military officers on Oct 2 in Yala province. The two are Dolo Bueraheng and Aha Maso, who are suspected of having a role in a bombing that killed eight soldiers in June.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Pracha Promnok said Saturday the five demands made by Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) during peace talks were "acceptable overall", however he said the details still needed thorough review. Pol Gen Pracha, in charge of security affairs, said after meeting with 32 advisers that the next round of negotiations had been set for Oct 20 in Kuala Lumpur. He said, "The five demands of the BRN look acceptable overall, but agreement is not 100%."

Army chief Prayuth Chan-och, however, insisted the demands were unacceptable.
