| [Straits Times] SUSPECTED Islamic forces of Evil rubbed out five people in attacks across Thailand's restive south, including one Mohammedan man bumped off by a gang apparently dressed as soldiers, police said on Saturday. The 36-year-old deputy village headman was killed after three gunnies dressed in clothing resembling military uniforms broke into his house in Narathiwat on Friday evening, according to police. In the same province a 43-year-old Buddhist man, who worked with the local irrigation office, was also shot and killed at his home. Earlier in the day, a 55-year-old Mohammedan government worker died on his way back from afternoon prayers in a drive-by shooting in Pattani province. Another shooting in Pattani killed a 32-year-old security volunteer who was driving a cycle of violence. His wife, who was a passenger on the vehicle, was maimed. In Yala province, a 41-year-old Mohammedan man was rubbed out while returning from working at a rubber plantation on Friday afternoon. |
