Two RKK militants captured in southern Thailand
 [The Nation] Two militants from Runda Kumpalan Kecil (RKK) - one of whom is wanted for the 2006 abduction and killing of teacher Juling Pongkunmul - were captured yesterday during a battle between Thai security forces and insurgents in Narathiwat's Rangae district.The security officers surrounded a house on Monday night looking for RKK leader Amran Ming, who faces more than a dozen national security warrants, when four men inside the house opened fire at them triggering a gun battle. The men then fled into a rubber plantation behind the house. Early yesterday morning, officers found armed suspect Maruwan Baka hiding and also apprehended the homeowner Iman Kaje. The duo was sent to the 45th Army Ranger base for interrogation. Maruwan - who is wanted for many cases including Juling's murder and a bombing in Tanyongmas Municipality on July 20 - reportedly admitted that the two men who escaped were Amran Ming and Asri. He allegedly said they had come to Iman's house to prepare for a local attack. In related news, suspected insurgents hurled three grenades at two policemen's homes at the Bacho police headquarters in Narathiwat on Monday night. Since all the residents were in the front hall, nobody was wounded. Posted by: ryuge 2014-12-18 |
