Shop owner gunned down in southern Thailand
2010-08-22
The owner of a fruit shop was gunned down in the downtown Yala on Friday night. He was shot dead by two motorcycle gunmen as he was parking his motorcycle at the shop. Police have obtained a tape from a surveillance camera near the shop.

Meanwhile, two terrorists suspected insurgents escaped when security forces raided their hideout in Pattani. The two suspected bomb makers - Maha Masoree Samae, 27, and Afandi Kapa - were busy at work when their forest hideout was raided. A local police chief said that a joint police-military team raided the hideout, which triggered a gunfight. Reinforcements were called in and surrounded the area, but the suspects fled.

There was evidence that the area was used for arms training. Many bomb-making materials were seized, including mobile phones, circuit panels, urea fertiliser and wires. Some of the materials were buried underground. There was enough material to make at least 11 bombs.
