Terrorist trainer killed in southern Thailand
2013-05-13
A trainer of terrorists militants in southern Thailand was killed in a clash with soldiers in Narathiwat province district early yesterday morning.

The soldiers raided a house in Rueso district at about 3:30 a.m. after receiving information that about seven armed men were hiding there.Upon seeing the soldiers, the men in the house shot at them. The two sides exchanged gunfire for about 10 minutes, after which the terrorists militants retreated, leaving one body behind.

The body was identified as that of Yamadee Hayibaka, 45, a resident of Yala's Raman district. Soldiers also found a .38mm handgun beside him.

Officials said Yamadee was a trainer of young Runda Kampulan Kecil terrorists members. He was wanted under several warrants for violation of the emergency decree. He was arrested in February 2010 but was later released due to lack of evidence.

In Pattani province at about 6 p.m. yesterday a bus from Chulabhorn naval camp ran over a roadside bombin Yaring district. The 30kg bomb killed the driver, CPO 1st Class Chirawong Naowamuta, and wounded 10 others, including three officers' wives.

#2  Not Vica-versa, the cartridge is longer, won't fit, but you're right the bore's the same.

#1  .38 mm = .01496 caliber = ??? WTF?

Do they mean either .380 caliber or 38 special? I would guess they do.

The irony here is that "38 special" is actually .358 caliber, which is why it can be fired from guns chambered for .357 magnum (but not vice-versa).
