Parents shot in front of daughter in Thai attacks
2010-06-20
A two-year-old girl was injured in a shooting that killed both her parents in the latest bout of violence to hit Thailand's restive south, police said Sunday. The attack -- which targeted a former ranger driving with his wife and daughter in Pattani's Muang district on Saturday -- came just minutes after a grenade attack on a mosque in Sai Buri that wounded two nine-year-old boys.

A village headman was seriously injured in a suspected terrorist insurgent gun attack in Ra-ngae district. He was heading home after a bird-singing competition at a nearby market when his attackers emerged on another pick-up truck, police said. His neighbour was also in the vehicle. The gunmen shot at Mr Kuheng's truck as they were overtaking it. He lost control of the vehicle, which left the road and hit a tree.

Mr Kuheng's neighbour, who was unhurt, fled the truck. Villagers who came to check on the truck took Mr Kuheng to hospital. Doctors said he was shot twice, in the left cheek and the torso. They suspect terrorists insurgents are behind the attack.
