Terrorist attacks kill seven in southern Thailand
2011-10-24
Suspected Muslim terrorists insurgents have killed at least seven people in back-to-back shooting and bomb attacks in southern Thailand.

On Sunday evening an unknown number of terrorists gunmen dressed as women, traveling in three pick-up trucks, opened fire on a checkpoint in the main town of Narathiwat province killing two rangers.

Shortly afterwards a bomb was detonated at a nearby supermarket, followed by a second bomb at another supermarket about 300 metrers away, causing fires that spread through shophouses and took three hours to extinguish.

Police said they found two charred bodies of the male owner and a female teacher in the first shop, while a young boy and his parents were found dead in the second. Another seven people were burned in the attacks, all of which happened within the space of half an hour.
