Train bombing suspect gunned down in southern Thailand
2013-10-01
A man wanted in connection with a deadly train bombing in Narathiwat province last year was killed during a raid by security forces in Rueso district yesterday.

Combined units raided a house in Bucho Bongo village about 1:25 a.m. They were acting on a report that Abdulloh Buraheng was hiding there. Abdulloh was suspected of being involved in the bombing of the Yala-Sungai Kolok train on Nov 18 last year. The blast caused the train to derail, killing defense volunteer Panakorn Chumkaew and seriously injuring 16 other passengers.

Security forces surrounded the house and ordered Abdulloh to surrender. The suspect refused and opened fire on the officers, who then responded. Abdulloh was shot four times and died at the scene.

Pol Sub Lt Pisith Chatwatanathada said 18 terrorists militants were involved in the train bombing and warrants had been issued for four of them: Abdulloh, Mayuding Haji Sani, Maroning Buraheng and Abdulloh Maero.

Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Pracha Promno said yesterday that security agencies will finalize the government's position on the Barisan Revolusi Nasional separatist group's five demands for ongoing peace talks in the deep South within two weeks.
