Two men were killed by suspected Islamic rebels in separate drive-by shootings and seven security officials were injured Wednesday, in bomb attacks in Thailand's restive south, police said. A 48-year-old Buddhist man was gunned down by militants while driving a motorcycle in Yala, one of three Muslim-majority southern provinces bordering Malaysia, they said.
In neighboring Pattani province, a 40-year-old Buddhist man on a motorcycle was shot dead by insurgents in a separate drive-by shooting. Also in Yala, a soldier was seriously wounded when a roadside bomb went off, and six border patrol policemen were hurt in another roadside explosion in front of a school. |
