Security tightened after Thai terror tip-off
2013-08-31
Security has been beefed up in Narathiwat province after officials were tipped off that two suspected terrorists insurgents planned attacks in the area. Intelligence reports were received that Muhamakosapi Loma and Paosee Dueramae had devised a plan to bomb and ambush troops attached to Narathiwat Special Taskforce 30. There are five arrest warrants out for the two men are wanted on security charges.

The ambush been planned for today to mark Malaysia's day of independence. The planned assault was intended as a response to security forces having arrested or killed several suspected terrorists insurgents.

Meanwhile, Thailand's National Security Council chief Paradorn Pattanatabut said yesterday he had contacted Malaysian officials to ask Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) representative Hassan Taib to formally submit the group's five demands. The controversial demands include the release of detained terror insurgent suspects and revocation of arrest warrants for those still at large, and the state's recognition of the BRN as a liberation movement rather than a separatist group.

Paradorn said the demands will be reviewed to see if the Thai government can agree to any of them. Officials are waiting for the BRN's response before fixing the date for the next round of peace talks next month, he said.
