 Security forces shot dead two terrorists insurgents in a pre-dawn gun battle in the southern province of Yala on Friday, police said. The bodies of two men, aged 21 and 25, were found outside a hut after 20-minute gun fight. Along side their bodies were two hand grenades and a rifle. Three suspects were able to escape the battle. About 100 soldiers and police officers were deployed for this operation.
The assault came two days after terrorists insurgents killed five people and burned down a school, following bomb blasts that wounded 74 people a day earlier in the province. |
