| Suspected A Buddhist man and a Muslim man were killed in Pattani province, police there said, while two Muslim men were shot dead in separate attacks in Narathiwat and Yala, all today. Suspected In Bangkok, government spokesman Yongyuth Mayalap told a cabinet meeting that separatist rebels were increasingly targeting teachers and schools. Since the beginning of the school year on May 6, nine teachers have been killed and six schools set on fire, he said. "The attacks rose sharply compared to last year and attacks were more bold," Yongyuth told reporters after the cabinet briefing. He said authorities were trying to devise a security plan aimed at keeping teachers safe, especially as they travelled to and from schools. |
