| 2009-10-13 |
| Security forces raided an Islamic school on Monday in insurgency-plagued southern Thailand, detaining 60 students and religious teachers for questioning, police said. The raid came two days after a group of suspected Muslim insurgents opened fire on the motorcade of a high-ranking civil servant in the area. No one was wounded or killed. On Monday, 200 policemen and soldiers detained 60 Islamic teachers and students at Saengtham Wittaya School in Narathiwat province's Bacho district, said Police Col. Chamlong Ngamnet. 'We have received information that some might have information about the incident on Saturday and others might have ties to the insurgency,' Mr Chamlong said, adding that police found a book about suicide bombings in one of the rooms at the school's dormitory. 'We will release those who are not involved. We just wanted to question them about recent activities at the school and in the area.' Question them good and hard! |
