Today in Thai terror
2011-09-09
The first story was posted yesterday, but this one has a little more detail and has two more stories attached.
A ranger was gunned down in an ambush while driving three other rangers back to their camp in Narathiwat province.

Cpl Yongyuth Sutjarit, 45, was driving a pickup truck with three rangers riding in the back when they were attacked. Two men on a motorcycle opened fire at the truck and a bullet hit the corporal in the head. The truck swerved off the road and ran into a ditch.

The other rangers were not hurt. They jumped from the truck and returned fire in a five-minute exchange.

In Songkhla province, a teenager and a boy were found with an ammunition cache on Wednesday night. Police raided a worker's shelter and found a youth aged 16, and a boy aged 10 guarding the ammunition, which included two magazines for an M16, and four machetes. The pair admitted they were hired to guard the weapons.

In Yala province, police suspect a network controlled by Sofwan Sama, a local terror rebel leader, was behind the murder of school teacher, Kanit Lamnui, 38, who was killed on Tuesday. Kanit was gunned down and his body found burned in Yala province.
