#1 from an undisclosed location in Sweden

Kasturi said Pulo had a significant number of officials and armed troops in southern Thailand but declined to go into detail or take credit for any of the attacks in the region.

"This is something we won't confirm or deny. I can't go into specifics," said Kasturi when asked which major attacks or incidents Pulo was involved.

Am I the only one that thinks this guy's full of shit?
I'll bet the freedom fighter personae impresses the hell out of Swedish babes. Probably beats the hell outta "dishwasher in a Thai restaurant".

#2 Perhaps we need to seek independance from Muslims in non-muslim majority ares, and not rule out attacks?

#3 Camp Pawai, Tak or Nak anyone?

LOPBURI:

46th U.S. Army Special Forces Co 10/66 - 4/74

"In October 1966 Company D, 1st Special Forces Group [Airborne], 1st Special Forces, which was organized 15 April 1966 at Fort Bragg, arrived in Thailand. The 46th Special Forces Company, 1st Special Forces was activated 15 April 1967 in Thailand using assets of Company D, 1st Special Forces Group. In 1968 the 46th Special Forces Company was headquartered at Camp Pawai near Lopburi and had three subordinate B-Detachments at Sakon Nakhon, at Camp Nong Takoo (Pak Chong) and at Ban Kachon. On March 31 1972 its assets were used to form HHD, 3rd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group [Airborne], 1st Special Forces. However for security reasons it was known locally simply as U.S. Army Special Forces, Thailand." Other A-Detachments were located for various periods during the war at: Camp Carrow (Trang), Chonburi, Kokethiem, Saraburi, Ratburi, Fort Narai (Lopburi), Kanchanaburi, Hua Hin, Bangkok, Udorn, Ubon, Nakhon Phanom, Mai Rem, Songkhia, Pranburi, Phitsanulok, Nam Phong. Chieng Kham, Ban Nong Saeng, Ban Haui Khu, Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Nan, Ban Haui Sai Tai, Muang Loi and Samae San.

#4 I'm sure an attack on Phuket, Bangkok, Pattia Beach, Chang Mai, or any of the other resort areas in Thailand would not be in the best interest of any muslims living in Thailand. It might even rile a few of the locals to get downright NASTY, especially if it were Japanese, American, or Australian tourists that were injured. I'm sure some of the N'ong or Hmong tribesmen that fled Laos for Thailand would be willing to lend a hand, which would NOT be pleasant for the malays in south Thailand.
