Four dead in terrorist ambushes in southern Thailand
2007-06-24
Terrorists Suspected militants killed two soldiers and two villagers in ambushes in Thailand's rebellious Muslim south on Sunday, police said.

The soldiers were executed and their bodies burned by suspected Muslim snipers on a road in Narathiwat province after their motorcycle came under fire, police said. In nearby Pattani province, two elderly civilians riding on a motorcycle were attacked by pistol-toting gunmen. The two men were doused with benzene and set on fire, police said.

The military had detained 130 Muslim militant suspects and sympathisers during a security sweep through Narathiwat and nearby Yala province since Wednesday, army spokesman Akara Thiproj told reporters on Sunday.

Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont reiterated on Saturday his government would stick to its disastrous policy of trying to defuse the situation in the south through peaceful dialogue with the militants.
