Four killed as Thai terrorists target civilians in south
2009-09-30
Suspected Islamic terrorists militants shot dead four more people in southern Thailand, police said Wednesday, bringing to nine the civilian death toll in the troubled region over three days.

In the latest in a series of attacks targeting civilians, gunmen in a pick-up truck followed a Muslim local government chief and shot him dead in Narathiwat province on Wednesday, also injuring another man, police said.

On Tuesday four gunmen in fake police uniforms went to an irrigation official's house in neighbouring Pattani province and pretended to ask for escaped militants, police said. They then sprayed bullets at four people inside the house, killing a male Muslim security guard and a Buddhist woman who also worked at the office, they said. Two other men were wounded. Meanwhile, a Muslim man was killed in a drive-by shooting, also in Pattani on Tuesday.

Terrorists Insurgents killed five Muslim civilians in separate incidents on Monday, shooting four and stabbing one to death, police said.
