| 2006-11-12 |
| Suspected Muslim insurgents opened fire early Sunday at a tea shop in restive southern Thailand, killing one person, as attackers elsewhere burned down a Buddhist villager's home, police said. Two hooded gunmen fired from motorcycles at the tea shop in Narathiwat province's Rue So district shortly after midnight, killing a 30-year-old male customer seated at a table with his brother, who was injured, said police Lt. Kuma-aen Sanya. He blamed the attack on suspected Muslim insurgents. Buddhist villagers in Yala province have sought refuge since Thursday at a Buddhist temple after some of their family members were killed and their houses were burned down by suspected insurgents. Arsonists destroyed the home of a Buddhist man Saturday night in the Muang district of Yala province, while he was out guarding a nearby Buddhist temple, police said. In neighboring Narathiwat province, Buddhist monks have said that as of Monday they will temporarily stop their morning ritual of walking through villages to seek alms as a safety precaution. The move comes after five monks were injured and two marines escorting them killed on Oct. 22 as they walked near a Narathiwat city market to collect alms. |
