| Thai bombs target teacher convoy, 5 dead |
| 2006-06-27 |
| Five security officers have been killed by a roadside bomb in Thailand's south. They were attacked by a group of suspected insurgents, who ambushed them as they were guarding teachers on their way to a school in Yala province. In Tuesday's attack, a bomb exploded under a military truck guarding the teachers, immediately killing a Buddhist soldier. Militants waiting nearby then shot four security officers in the head, before leaving the scene with their weapons, police said. In a separate incident, also on Tuesday, at least one person was killed in a drive-by shooting in Narathiwat province. Militants also launched two bomb attacks on convoys of security forces in Narathiwat, but nobody was hurt, police said. The latest attacks come just over a week after scores of co-ordinated blasts rocked the three southern provinces. At least 17 people have been arrested in connection with those attacks. |

| #5 "Kill or drive off the teachers so the Thais can't educate their kids. The Thais then move away to where their kids can get an education. Ethnic cleansing accomplished." No, no, no, Ed. You're missing the larger picture. It's kill off Thai teachers to make way for Wahhabi-trained, Islamo-fascist Muzzies (most likely from next door Malaysia) as they go about setting up a Madrassas system that will instill the correct education. |

| #4 Fred - This is at least the third story today which carefully, and intentionally of course, avoids saying the obvious - Islam / "Muzzies". SOP35/Rat is nailing them, one by one, LOL. *applause* Maybe it would be interesting to keep a count of such stories - the mysterious militant attacks, work accidents, etc, LOL - and see how absurd it gets over time... Maybe call it the AFPAPooters Euphemism Hit Parade... I'm sure this crowd could do justice snarking the farce. :^) |
