| Three people were gunned down yesterday in Narathiwat province on their way to negotiate a rubber trade. Policemen inspecting the crime scene found the victims with severe injuries. They were in a pickup truck which had skidded off a local road. Ten spent cartridges from M16 and AK rifles were found near the vehicle. Another person was also in the pickup but escaped uninjured. The four were heading to pay a rubber plantation owner for rubber wood. Another pickup truck approached their car and two men fired guns at them. The Meanwhile, the Sangha Supreme Council has allowed the National Office of Buddhism to give financial help to three monks in Pattani who were wounded by shrapnel during a bomb attack on their morning alms rounds on Nov 21. Official Noppharat Benchawattananan said the office will pay 30,000 baht to each monk for their medical expenses. |
