| 2008-06-04 |
| Four people have been killed in attacks by suspected separatists across Thailand's far south, police say, including one woman who died when a bomb ripped through a fair. Last night's bomb hit an annual event organised by the Thai Red Cross in Yala province. A 24-year-old Buddhist women was killed, while four people were seriously injured, Yala police said. In the same province, two Muslim men and a woman were killed when suspected rebels sprayed their house with gunfire as they were conducting evening prayers, local authorities said. Government spokesman Wichianchot Sukchotrat told AFP they planned to study what lessons could be learnt from the way Indonesia tackled separatist unrest in its Aceh province. The cabinet has ordered the interior ministry and the southern administrative body "to study the Aceh peace model in order to use information to solve our own southern unrest problem," Wichianchot said. |
