| Two killed, 7 wounded in southern Thailand attacks |
| 2006-08-27 |
| Militants ambushed a group of around 20 soldiers in Thailand's mainly Muslim far south on Saturday and a Thai soldier and a militant were killed, officials said. The militants attacked two pick-up trucks carrying the soldiers in Yala, one of three provinces in the far south near the Malaysian border where more than 1,100 people have been killed in an insurgency which began in January 2004, they said. In nearby Pattani, a bomb wounded a policeman and a civilian near a weekend market as army chief Sonthi Boonyaratglin visited the province. The government of overwhelmingly Buddhist Thailand has tried many means to overcome the insurgency in a region where most people are Malay and which was an independent sultanate until Bangkok annexed it a century ago. Nothing has worked yet. |

| #2 Friday afternoon, bomb all the mosques. Saturday morning, start bulldozing muzzie houses. By noon Sunday, have all the muzzies remaining being pushed toward the Malaysian border, with 10,000 Thai Tigers doing the pushing. Tuesday afternoon, begin the Buddhist resettlement program on the cleared land. Re-settle Maa or Hmong on every fourth piece of land, and arm them to the teeth. The muzzies won't be back, at least not permanently. |
