2006-07-02 |
Two Muslims have been shot dead by suspected Islamic militants in separate attacks in Thailand's south. Police say a 48-year-old man was killed in a drive-by shooting late Saturday as he rode a motorcycle in Yala, one of three restive southern provinces on the border of Malaysia. In neighbouring Narathiwat province, a 22-year-old Muslim man was shot dead by militants while he was sleeping in his pick-up truck. Separately, some 10 suspected Islamic militants opened fire on a police camp in Yala late Saturday. Police exchanged fire with the militants for about 10 minutes but no one was injured in the attack. |
