Four shot down across southern Thailand
2008-09-22
Suspected separatist terrorists insurgents shot dead four people in attacks across Thailand's mainly Muslim far south on Sunday, police said.

In Pattani province, a 60-year-old Muslim rubber tapper was killed as he filled his motorbike at a petrol station, while in a separate attack a Buddhist market vendor was shot dead as he travelled to work. In nearby Yala province, a 22-year-old Muslim man was killed in a drive-by shooting. Hours later in the same province, two men on a motorcycle shot dead a 50-year-old Muslim man who worked for the local village chief.

#3  Disagree OP. It was Buddhist Thais who conquered the muslim Malay in the first place. Make the Thais uncomfortable enough and the will go Genghis Khan on the muslims.

#2  Bring in a few hundred Hmong tribesmen from central Laos and Vietnam, guarantee them that if they capture and hand over the militants, they will be deeded a hectare of land, give them modern weapons, and turn them loose. The problem will be resolved in a few weeks. Too many Thais are Buddhists who don't like to harm other living things, or Muslims who don't want to fight their own kind. The Hmongs have neither problem. If Hmongs aren't available, try some Lao or Me tribesmen, or import some Karens from Burma.

#1  The Thais have been unusually passive uncreative confronting the Islamic Terrorist "problem".
