Five gunned down in two attacks in southern Thailand
2008-05-13
Suspected separatist terrorists rebels have shot dead five people in the insurgency-hit Thai south, police said on Tuesday. Two soldiers with a government-backed militia were killed when they were off-duty Monday evening in Narathiwat, one of three southern provinces beset by a bloody separatist movement. Also, Monday, three Muslim men were killed in two separate attacks in nearby Pattani province, police in the region said.

#2  bman - Southern Thailand isn't a good area for growing rice. Most of the rice is grown in the flatland around the nation's capital, Bangkok, or highland rice grown in the north. The primary agriculture in the south is rubber cultivation.

#1  Any connection between the violence in the south and the "shortage" of rice?
