Suspected terrorists separatists on Sunday shot dead two Muslim village chiefs in the restive Thai south, police said. A 61-year-old man was killed in a drive-by shooting in Narathiwat province early on Sunday afternoon, local police said, while a 47-year-old man was shot dead in nearby Pattani province. Both were elected community heads of their respective villages, a frequent target for southern insurgents battling the Thai state. |
