Suspect in killing of Thai marines shot dead
2007-09-01
Tuantuwae-apel Nikaji, 25, a resident of Ban Tan Yong Limo, was hit five times by AK-47 fire from a group of gunmen on a pickup truck while he was walking across the road at about lunchtime yesterday. He was wanted in connection with the murder of two marines who were beaten to death while being held hostage in Ban Tan Yong Limo in 2005.

Sub-Lieutenant Noraset Suksri from Rangae district police station, who inspected the crime scene, said the terrorists militants might have attacked Tuantuwae-apel to maintain the level of violence in the South on August 31, the anniversary of the establishment of the separatist Bersatu group, though he gave no other reasons to support his assumption.

Authorities in the South tightened security as news spread from an unknown source that militants might intensify their operations to ignite the region this week to celebrate Bersatu day. Bersatu, which is the Malay word for "unity" was an umbrella organisation of separatist groups founded in 1989.

Separately, a man died as combined forces searched a village in Yala's Muang district. As officials arrived at Ban Taladae at about 5pm yesterday in search of suspected terrorists militants in the predominantly Muslim region, an unidentified man hiding in the backyard of a house fired his pistol at the officials. The officials returned fire and killed the man instantly.

Plus:

One patrol soldier was killed and another wounded when terrorists insurgents clashed with them on Saturday morning in Sai Buri district of Pattani. An unknown number of terrorists insurgents ambushed the soldiers when they were patrolling around Pa Thung school Road. The clash began after soldiers fought back.
