| Three killed in Thai south on mosque massacre anniversary |
| 2007-04-28 |
| Three men were shot dead in Thailand's restive Muslim-majority south Saturday as the kingdom marked the third anniversary of a mosque massacre, police said. A 45-year-old Muslim man was killed in a drive-by shooting and another 37-year-old Muslim man was gunned down by suspected Islamic rebels in an ambush in Narathiwat, one of three troubled provinces bordering Malaysia. In nearby Pattani province, a 70-year-old Buddhist man was shot dead late Friday in a drive-by shooting while riding a motorcycle. The attacks came as Thailand marked the third anniversary of the Krue Se Mosque massacre in which 32 suspected militants were killed by Thai security forces in Pattani. Earlier in the day, a man opened fire on the Krue Se mosque where some 20 Muslims gathered for morning prayers. But no one was injured, police said. |

| #2 Why is the attack called a "massacre" if those killed were "insurgents"? Sounds to me like a normal military operation to clean out a sh$$stand. I HATE IT when newspapers editorialize in the "news" section. |

| #1 "Thailand marked the third anniversary of the Krue Se Mosque massacre in which 32 suspected militants were killed by Thai security forces in Pattani." Rinse and repeat. |
