| Seven people have been shot dead in separate attacks by suspected Islamic militants in Thailand's restive south. Six people, including two police officers, were killed in three separate attacks in Yala province, one of three predominantly Muslim provinces in the south. Another was shot dead in Pattani province. In Narathiwat province, two Thai women and a Malaysian man were slightly injured when a bomb exploded at a tea shop. The attacks came despite a call for peace from former prime minister Prem Tinsulanonda, who addressed some 2,000 civilians at an anti-violence meeting. |
