Soldier wounded, two terrorists dead in southern Thailand
2008-01-28
One soldier was wounded in a bombing ambush in the strife-torn province of Yala Sunday night. Police gathered evidence at the site of the incident Monday morning.

The 13-man government patrol was ambushed as it returned to its base after the men completed their duties at a checkpoint in the provincial seat. A bomb was detonated near a grindstone factory as the military patrol passed by, with an unknown number of terrorists insurgents opening fire on the government unit. The exchange lasted for five minutes.

Meanwhile, over 300 soldiers are scouring a mountainous area in Ruso district searching for five members of the Runda Kumpulan Kecil (RKK) terrorist insurgent group after an exchange of gunfire which left two suspected terrorists insurgents dead on Sunday.

Police said one of dead men was identified as Suvaradi Dengsamae, 23, for whom there was an outstanding arrest warrant from the Yala police for killing a Muslim villager in Yala last year and other criminal cases. The other man killed Sunday was Nisae Sama, 28, of Narathiwat's Tak Bai district.
