Seven gunned down in two days in southern Thailand
2008-11-18
Suspected terrorist separatist rebels shot dead seven people including two women in attacks across southern Thailand, police said on Tuesday, as violence spiralled in the Muslim-majority region.

Two men were shot dead on Tuesday in Pattani, one of three far southern provinces beset by a nearly five-year long insurgency. 'We still don't know their names or their ages yet, as no one dared to go to the scene and investigate for fear of a bomb attack,' a police officer in the district said. Later on Tuesday near the scene of the first attack, a mother and her son were shot dead in a drive-by shooting.

On Monday, a 44-year-old soldier, a 73-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man were killed in separate attacks in Pattani and Narathiwat provinces.
