5 People Die in Spate of Violence in Thai Deep South
[BenarNews] Five people have died in a spate of violence in Thailand’s insurgency-ridden Deep South, including three members of a family slain when attackers sprayed their truck with bullets and then set it aflame in Pattani province, army officials said.

Officials claimed the gruesome attack was in retaliation for the killing of a suspected holy warrior and the arrest of two others in an encounter in Narathiwat two days earlier.

Officers said the Saturday attack took place in Sai Buri district, and the victims were identified as a businessman, Suporn Kittiprapanan, 58, his daughter Jiraporn, 26, and his nephew Santipattana Kittiprapanan, also 26.

#2 It’s been going on for a long time, Abu Uluque. The nationalistic independence effort in the territory of the Pattani Sultanate dates back to World War II or something like that, but the jihad really took off in 2001. Ryuge covered it for us for years, then after he left I covered the beat.
