Four civilians killed in southern Thailand
2009-10-28
Suspected Islamic terrorists militants shot dead four civilians in Thailand's south Wednesday, police said, one day after the prime minister backed plans for the mainly Muslim region to get more autonomy.

Police said terrorists gunmen burst into a motorbike repair shop in restive Pattani province on Wednesday and shot a Buddhist man dead before dousing the body in petrol and setting it alight. Two other Buddhist men and a Muslim man who was a government informer were killed in other, separate drive-by terrorist shootings on Wednesday, they said.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Tuesday lent his support to a suggestion by his Malayasian counterpart Najib Razak that the south should have "some form" of autonomy. Razak is due to visit Thailand in December and will go with Abhisit to the south.

#1  Screw "autonomy". Increase the Buddhist authority, and let anyone who doesn't like it move a little south to Malaysia.
