[Bangkok Post] An accused Thai militant became the third man to die in military custody since October when he mysteriously perished during questioning at an army camp in Pattani province Friday. Abdullayi Dorloh died while being interrogated at the Ingkhayutthaborihan camp in Nong Chik district where he has been held since he was nabbed in early November, the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) said. Doctors could not identify the cause of the death because there was not a bruise on his body. Relatives and a representative for a local lawyers' foundation have taken his remains to another hospital in Songkhla province for an autopsy.
Abdullayi had been arrested in Nong Chik on Nov 11 on suspicion of being a key insurgent involved in southern unrest. He reportedly had already confessed to being behind attacks in the region and had been brought to record his testimony with police at Nong Chik station. He died during interrogation by intelligence soldiers, ISOC's command said.
