Thai miltants get quick revenge on informant
2013-10-07
[Bangkok Post] An informant who tipped off authorities to the location of suspected terrorists insurgents, leading to the death of four of them in Narathiwat province on Saturday, was killed on Sunday.

Mohammad Rita-uden Tarasi was ambushed while riding his motorcycle to job in Rueso district. He was shot twice with an AK assault rifle. Rueso police chief Pol Col Anothai Jindamanee said Mohammad had been the informant on Saturday and he believed the man was shot by followers of the slain terrorists separatists.

Authorities are hunting for two more suspects who fled the deadly raid in Rueso district. The pair are believed to be platoon commanders in the Runda Kumpalan Kecil (RKK) terrorist separatist movement.

Both escaped as a team of about fifty police and soldiers raided a house on Saturday afternoon. The raid sparked a gun battle in which two police and four terrorists separatists were killed and an officer was wounded.

Among the four slain terrorists separatists are Abdul Roheng Da-eso, a.k.a. "Black Pele", another RKK platoon commander. Abdul Roheng and the two escaped suspects served Usman Dengsamae, chief of RKK's 3rd Company, who was also killed in the raid.

Saturday's raid targeted terrorists separatists believed to be behind an attack on a bomb squad on Sept 27. After the raid, police found a video clip in the mobile phone of one of the separatists. It showed the suspects before the Sept 27 attack in which three officers were wounded and a civilian was killed. The clip had been posted on YouTube website and Abdul Roheng was identified in the clip.

Abdul Roheng is thought to have gunned down two border patrol police officers at a market in Raman district on Dec 12, 2008. He is further accused of killing three people and injuring three others when he shot at a house, of killing five police in a bombing, and of gunning down four other police officers.

Meanwhile, a paramilitary ranger was gunned down on his way to work in a rubber plantation on Sunday, and three soldiers were injured when a roadside bomb was detonated when their truck rode over it.
