| [Bangkok Post] Three policemen were killed and six others injured, four seriously, in an ambush by militants in Narathiwat province on Tuesday afternoon. The attack occurred on a main road in Rangae district. The nine-man patrol was heading toward Chanae police station, when hidden attackers fired grenades at the vehicle from the side of the road. The vehicle veered out of control and hit a tree. The militants then emerged from hiding and fired assault weapons at the vehicle, killing three policemen and injuring six others. Police, soldiers and bomb disposal officers who raced to the scene found the crashed police pickup truck riddled with bullet holes still against the tree. The three slain men were found inside the vehicle with multiple gunshot injuries. The injured officers had been taken to a nearby hospital before the reinforcements arrived. |
