Village leader, terrorist gunned down in southern Thailand
2012-02-23
A former terrorist insurgent in the Pattani United Liberation Organisation (PULO) was gunned down in a rubber plantation in Narathiwat province hours after a village leader was killed in the neighbouring province of Pattani.

The bullet-ridden body of Tore Jewaemueror, 53, was found on Tuesday morning. Police thought the motive for the killing was to silence him after he refused to join the Runda Kumputlan Kecil (RKK) terrorist insurgent movement. The victim was invited to join the group after several leading RKK members lost their lives in extrajudicial killings.

Last night in Pattani province, a village leader was gunned down while he was returning home. Ma Jeha was ambushed 500 meters from his home by a gunman with an AK47 assault rifle.

Jeha, a developer who worked in the civil society network, had cooperated with the authorities.

Village leader shot and wounded

A village defense volunteer was shot and seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting in Pattani province.

Boonya Boonsrang was attacked on a local road at 2 p.m. while driving his motorcycle to downtown Pattani. He was followed by two men on a motorcycle. The pillion rider fired four shots at him and fled the scene.

In Yala province, a combined team of police and soldiers yesterday raided a hideout of suspected terrorists insurgents and found many sets of survival gear.

The officers searched a cave at Khao Yala mountain. No one was inside the cave, which police believe served as a terrorist insurgent hideout.Dried food, instant noodles, tents, clothes and solar panels were all found there.

The raid followed information given by Hamdee Torlubor, an terrorist insurgent who was arrested earlier. The suspect was responsible for a series of violent attacks in Yala.
