Two killed, 21 arrested in southern Thailand
2007-11-26
At least that's what I think happened. The poor editing makes the story confusing.
A defense volunteer and a villager were killed in Thailand's southernmost Yala and Narathiwat provinces on Monday morning, and paramilitary rangers arrested 21 men now being held on suspicion of involvement in the region's ongoing jihad insurgency.

Asae Madeemong, 54, was gunned down in a hail of bullets on his way to work in Yala's Raman district. According to the preliminary investigation, a group of suspected terrorists insurgents laid spikes on the roadway, and opened fire on the victim, who lost control of his vehicle and was shot dead.

Identified as Mueso Yago, the victim was found dead in a pool of blood on the road near his motorcycle in Narathiwat's Ruso district. He was wounded but then shot in the head by an unknown number of attackers, according to police investigators.

Meanwhile, in Narathiwat's Takbai district, a unit of some 400 paramilitary rangers on Monday morning arrested four leaders of the Runda Kumpulan Kecil (RKK) terrorist insurgent group in a predawn raid in a village where the terrorists insurgents are known to be active. The rangers seized many items believed to be used in attacks, including chainsaws, radio transmitters and receivers. The rangers detained 21 terrorist insurgent suspects for further questioning.
