| Thailand offers photo proof of militants in Malaysia |
| 2004-12-22 |
| The Thai government said Tuesday it had photographic evidence of Thai Islamic militant training grounds in Malaysia, days after Malaysia's prime minister strongly denied the claims. "Our intelligence reports said they were conducting arms training and there are more than 10 key members in Kelantan state," Deputy Interior Minister Sutham Sangprathum told reporters. "We have several photographs of training areas in Kelantan," he said. "We are ready to hand these photos over to Malaysia if they wish." Sutham said the pictures had been in the hands of Thai security forces for some time but had only recently come to his attention. He did not indicate how many militants, who had allegedly trained in Malaysia, were currently hiding across the border, but said "we want Malaysia to arrest these people and hand them to us". Kelantan borders southern Thailand, where an Islamic separatist insurgency has killed more than 560 people this year. Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said Friday that "absolutely one group of them (insurgents) has been trained in Malaysia", particularly in the jungles of Kelantan, but said it was being done without the knowledge or support of the Malaysian government. |

| #5 #3 & #4, I have come across the Mossie side who calls it hypocrisy for a Buddhist to fight and defend himself. Such is their state of ignorance and supremistic arrogance. Like as if such people expect the victims to be made of stones as in Bamiyah. Even then, it was very quickly that the Talibans lost their pants through the agency of the Coalition just a blink later.

| #4 The Malay reply is typical. It can't be true because we/they are muslims. This will get old. I don't fret about my Karma over protecting my mortality. I don't think most Buddhist Thai will. |

| #3 Well, if I could muster any sympathy for jihadis, the Malay Muslims will deserve it, once the Thais drop the Buddhist routine and get dirty. They sure know how to make you regret mixing it up, heh. More rack 'em and stack 'em coming. |

| #2 Actually, dot com, you could say it's likely to be an open tiff between Toxin and BadAreWe ;). |

| #1 Oops! Did Malaysia step in something? Toxin's trying to let you save face, but you have to, at least, make a good show of it, heh. It looks like Toxin is ready to get nasty and call a spade a spade - this little news story is extremely forward and frank for the Thais, trust me. Confrontation is something they avoid until it can no longer be avoided. Rock 'n roll be a comin' soon. |
