Married couple beheaded in southern Thailand |
2009-02-22 |
![]() Assailants gunned down Khomphet Janyalert, 39, and his wife Yinjai, 38, at 7 am as they were driving their motorcycle to work at a plantation in Raman district of Yala province, 750 kilometres south of Bangkok, police said. The It was the second brutal beheading reported this month in Yala, part of the restive majority-Muslim region that also includes Narathiwat and Pattani provinces. On Friday, suspected separatists shot and decapitated two Thai soldiers who were on a motorcycle patrol in Yala's Sata district, leaving their heads 100 metres from their bodies. Thai authorities blame the beheadings on the increasing desperation of the insurgents, who they claim are losing the support of the people. 'They are resorting to terrorist acts because they know they are losing support in the area, and the media has been ignoring them,' said Parinya Chaideelok, head of the Peacekeeping Force in the three provinces. Of the 300,000 Thai Buddhists who used to inhabit the region, about 70,000 have left in the last five years. Also: In a separate incident in Yala late Saturday, a 38-year-old man was shot dead as he and his wife drove home from a mosque after evening prayers. |

#3 Losing the support of the people??? Are you kidding. Thailand is ruled by a tyrant, the king, whose chief of staff is a muss-slime, oh! YES!!! And the army poo-poo the 'slime's insurgency on "drug dealers", even if they lose soldiers almost everyday. It's not an insurgency but an extermination that will go on until that buffoon king get shortened up. Unless it's done by the 'slimes, in which case Thailand will get under the rule of the pedophile mafia too. |

#2 Random killings, against muslims as much or more than against Buddhists, beheading their victims, and these POS can't understand why they're losing the support of the people? I'm surprised the people don't rise up in arms and do some heavy "ethnic cleansing". Can't really call it genocide, and even "ethnic cleansing" isn't really the proper term. Guess the REAL factor would be ridding the local area of vermin. |
