| 2007-05-10 |
| Two Muslim men were shot dead overnight in drive-by shootings in Thailand's restive south, police here said Thursday. In a separate incident, two soldiers were wounded by a bomb aimed at their convoy as they protected a group of Buddhist monks on their morning rounds to collect alms. The violence followed a powerful roadside bombing Wednesday that tossed an army patrol truck into the air and killed all seven soldiers inside. Some follow-up on Wednesday's roadside bomb: In Narathiwat province, police and military patrols continue their search for an undetermined number of men who detonated a bomb Wednesday, killing an army major and five of the six non-commissioned officers travelling in a pick-up truck. Their were no survivors from the seven-man patrol. One non-commissioned officer who had apparently survived the initial blast attempted to escape, though badly wounded, but was shot dead. The attackers carried away the victims' M-16 assault rifles, sidearms and radio transceivers. Local authorities believed that the assailants may be living in or nearby Narathiwat. Two suspects who were detained for interrogation following the incident were released when investigating officers determined that they had no connection with the ambush. |

| #1 Judging from the conversations I've had with Thai friends, I suspect the response will be something like a burned-out muzzie village with all captured males shot dead at close range. If the muzzies don't stop this garbage quickly, this formula will be repeated until all muzzies are gone to Malaysia or dead. |
