Teacher gunned down in restive southern Thailand
2008-01-24
Muslim terrorists militants fatally shot a Buddhist teacher as he pulled out of his driveway to head to work Thursday in restive southern Thailand, police said. Officers detained two suspects in the attack.

The teacher was going to pick up students for classes at a public primary school in Pattani province when a gunman on the back seat of a passing motorcycle opened fire, said police Lt. Ampai Chumchu.

The victim became the first teacher slain this year in Thailand's restive south, where more than 80 Buddhist teachers are among the more than 2,800 people killed since a Muslim insurgency in January 2004.

Police said the attackers, believed to be members of a Muslim terrorist rebel group, were hiding outside the teacher's home in Pattani's Na Pradu subdistrict, waiting for him to leave. After the attack, police surrounded the area, Ampai said. "We saw them running in a rice field toward the jungle," he said. Police detained both suspects, one of whom was shot and wounded during a chase.

#1  Stake him out over a bamboo clump, and water it heavily. Make sure the bamboo was cut at an angle, and that the ends are sharp. Film it and play it on Thai television. I'm sure someone will get the hint.
