Four killed in Muslim Thai south as Ramadan begins
2007-09-14
Suspected terrorists separatist rebels have killed four people in the insurgency-hit Thai south, police said Friday, as the Muslim-majority region began observing the holy month of Ramadan.

A 29-year-old Muslim woman was shot dead in an ambush early Friday morning in Narathiwat, one of three southern provinces beset by terrorist separatist violence that has killed more than 2,500 people since January 2004. As Ramadan began on Thursday, a 28-year-old Buddhist man and two Muslim men in their 60s were shot dead, also in Narathiwat, local police told AFP.

In a concession to local concerns about the holiday, the army said earlier this week that it would lift a curfew imposed since March on two of the most violent districts in Yala province from September 12 to October 21.
