Mother gunned down in front of her kids in southern Thailand
2013-06-28
Suspected terrorists insurgents detonated a bomb targeting a vehicle carrying rangers in Pattani province yesterday, but mistimed the explosion and did not inflict any casualties.

In Yala province, suspected terrorists insurgents opened fire on 3 local residents at a market, killing one person. The slain woman was the mother of two children who were also shot and injured.

Defense Minister Sukamphon Suwannathat said the situation in the far South was improving, but pointed out that bombing attempts were hard to counter due to a lack of necessary equipment.

Meanwhile, locals in Yala said they believed the new seven-point demand from the BRN would likely be rejected because violence was still ongoing in the far South. They also said that if a withdrawal of security forces really was to take place, the residents would need to exercise increased caution in their lives.
