Terrorist killed, another arrested in southern Thailand

2012-07-12

A member of a separatist group was killed and another arrested in a battle with police in Pattani province Wednesday afternoon.

The clash took place in the afternoon when a combined police and military unit laid siege to a hut where six ~~terrorists~~ militants were reported to have been in hiding. Upon seeing the security force the ~~terrorists~~ militants opened fire in a bid to escape and a 15-minute battle ensued.

One of them was later found dead and another was arrested. Four others managed to escape. The dead man was identified as Adinan Masa-i, 28, who was wanted on seven arrest warrants, and the arrested man as Abdulroning Sa-a, 30. wanted on five warrants.

Pattani's police chief said the dead man and the arrested ~~terrorist~~ militant were leading members of a separatist movement and were high on the authorities' list of wanted criminals.
