 Suspected militants shot dead one man and injured his colleague early Thursday here as nearly daily attacks by Muslim insurgents in Thailand's deep south have continued, said local police. Kuhasan Lueba, 24, was a temporary clerk for the Southern Border Provinces Peace-building Command to build peace in three Southern border provinces. He died instantly from gunshot wounds in his torso while his colleague, Muhama Sahea, who rode on the pillion of his motorcycle, survived the shooting, said Pol. Sub-Lt. Sornphet Tantiamornchaikul, an officer at Ra Ngae District Police Station. Muhama told police that they were chased after by two men on motorcycle while they were heading to work. Police believed insurgents were behind the shooting which has occurred almost daily and targeted government workers and security forces. |
