Three terrorists, ten-year-old latest killed in Thai south
2014-07-29
Terrorist Insurgent violence continued in Thailand's far South after a devastating car-bomb attack in Yala's Betong district last Friday, two days before the end of Ramadan. Incidents include a roadside bomb attack in Pattani on Sunday night, and an ambush and gun battle in Narathiwat yesterday that caused the deaths of civilians, security officials and terrorists insurgents.

In Pattani on Sunday night, a roadside bomb planted in Sai Buri district hit a passing pickup truck carrying a number of Army paramilitary rangers, killing a 10-year-old girl and injuring five other civilians and two rangers. The rangers were providing security for a mosque holding an event to mark the end of Ramadan. Police said the four injured civilians included an 18-month-old baby.

In Narathiwat yesterday morning, a gunfight in Rusoh district left three suspected terrorists insurgents dead, two of whom were allegedly senior members, as well as two security officials. Two dead terrorists insurgents were identified as suspected core operative Abdulloh Yunuh and suspected bomb-maker Safwal Saleh. The other man was identified as Abdul-rohpha Salehru.

The ambush, targeting a team of policemen, began with a gunfight. A team of Army paramilitary rangers led by Sgt-Major Chainarong Wongsarat, who was hurt and died later at hospital, arrived at the scene to relieve the policemen.

Police intelligence sources have identified terrorists insurgents most likely responsible for the deadly car bombing in Betong - a group of men who hijacked the vehicle led jointly by Makorseng Jehma and Aba Jeh Ali - and those who planned and carried out the attack. Alleged group leaders were Maruwan Saleh, based in Krong Pinang district and Adae Hayi Samoh based in Bannang Sata district.
