| Four people, including a police officer, have been shot dead in suspected separatist attacks in Thailand's Muslim-majority south, as the holy month of Ramadan began, police said Monday. The 43-year-old border patrol police officer was shot dead late on Sunday afternoon in Pattani, one of three provinces plagued by four years of separatist unrest that has left more than 3,400 dead, police said. A 52-year-old Buddhist woman and a 49-year-old Muslim man were also killed in drive-by shootings early Monday in Pattani, they added. In nearby Yala, a 50-year-old Muslim village leader was shot dead on Sunday evening. |
