2011-08-05 |
Suspected Muslim Two attackers armed with M-16 and AK-47 assault rifles opened fire on four men in Pattani province before fleeing. The lone survivor identified the assailants, who are wanted by police for the May 7 bombing of a soccer match in Pattani between villagers and police, in which four officers were killed and seven others wounded. The shootings come after the slaughter of four Muslims in Pattani and Yala on Thursday, believed to be revenge attacks for the murder of a Buddhist teacher a day earlier. No suspects have yet been identified in those killings. |
