| Three dead in attacks in Thailand's south |
| 2007-02-21 |
| Suspected insurgents shot dead three people in Thailand's Muslim-majority south, with the region still reeling from attacks that killed nine earlier this week. Police say a Muslim teacher, a former deputy village chief, was shot 10 times as he rode his motorcycle in Narathiwat province early on Wednesday. Hours later, a Buddhist woman was shot in Narathiwat, while a Muslim village chief was shot in Songkhla province late Tuesday. Meanwhile, suspected militants have destroyed a rubber warehouse in the southern region of Yala, destroying stocks worth nearly $US12 million. The warehouse contained around 5,000 tonnes of block rubber and unsmoked rubber sheet. The company will have to stop raw rubber produced by farmers, until the warehouse is rebuilt, which could take up to a year. |
