100 Killed in South Thailand Gunbattles
2004-04-28

Scores of teenage terrorists militants armed with little more than machetes attacked security outposts across Thailand’s troubled Muslim-dominated south Wednesday, but they were slain like pigs at a slaughter house repulsed by police who had been tipped off to the offensive. At least 107 militants were killed.
107 things to worry less about. Next.
The last of the raids was quashed when police fired tear gas into a mosque and then killed 11 fighters who tried to escape. Three policemen and two soldiers were also slain in the fighting.
What!? Terrorists using a mosque to run an operation!? Come now.

#1  From Hi Pakistan:BANGKOK: At least 127 people, all but two of them suspected separatists, were killed in a series of clashes in Thailand's Muslim south today, officials said.

Looks like some of those "arsonists" the Thais arrested the other day tipped them off about this attack. This will at least put a dent in the cannon fodder ranks.
