Three killed in southern Thailand include four year old
2011-08-25
Two people were killed, including a four-year-old, when around 30 terrorists gunmen attacked a former vilage leader's house in Yala province early Thursday morning, sparking a two-hour gunfight with defense volunteers that left 10 other people injured.

An estimated 30 terrorists armed men surrounded the house of Dorloh Sengmasu, headman of Ban Talohwae, widely called "Loh Talohwae", and opened fire on defense volunteers guarding the residence. The defense volunteers and Dorloh returned fire. The gun battle lasted for about two hours. Before fleeing, the terrorists attackers set fire to Dorloh's home.

Joint police and military force searched the area. They reported finding two bodies - Dorloh's son Nisulaiman Sengmasu, and Rassami Sengmasu, 4, Nisulaiman's daughter. A total of 10 people - rangers and villagers - were injured in the attack and taken to hospital.

Police blamed separatist terrorists militants.

In Pattani province, Hami Kuemi, 60, another village headman, was gunned down late last night. Witnesses told police that Hami was returning to his home after prayer at the village mosque when terrorists gunmen opened fire at him with pistols. He was hit six times and died on the spot.
