| Threats Close Thai Schools in Muslim Area |
| 2004-02-19 |
| Thailand will close most of the 900 schools in the largely Muslim south for the rest of this week because of threats from unidentified groups, education officials said Wednesday. Shortly after the announcement, another policeman was critically wounded by two shots in the head in Pattani Province, which borders Malaysia, the police said. A senior Education Ministry official said a school in Narathiwat Province closed Tuesday after it received a letter threatening to plant a bomb there. Another school closed Wednesday for the same reason. |

| #1 AP says, The recent violence is seen as a resurgence of the insurgency fueled by the grievances of Thailand's 5 million Muslims against decades of government mismanagement and its refusal to recognize their language, culture and Malay ethnicity. Oh, ok, if you don't recognize their 'culture' I guess they just have to go and blow up some second graders. |
