| 2009-12-27 |
| Three Muslim villagers and two militants have died in the latest violence in Thailand's insurgency-plagued southern provinces, police said on Sunday. Suspected militants shot and killed a 39-year-old Muslim as he was standing in front of his house in Pattani province late Saturday, they said. After midnight, a group of insurgents also shot and killed two Muslim men, aged 25 and 20, while they were riding home by motorcycle in Yala province. A third man was wounded in the attack. Early Sunday, army and police forces raided a house containing suspected rebels in Yala, and a 32-year-old militant was killed in an exchange of fire that lasted more than ten minutes, the police said. In a second raid on a house in Yala, combined forces killed another fighter. |
