| Suspected separatist insurgents shot dead two men in Thailand's troubled Muslim-majority south, police said Tuesday, while one man was killed and two reporters injured in a bomb blast. On Tuesday morning in Narathiwat province, two local journalists were wounded and a 49-year-old Muslim deputy village chief was killed when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb. The reporters and the deputy village chief were travelling with soldiers to a day-care centre which suspected separatist insurgents had set alight. Militants, however, had boobytrapped the road to the centre. On Monday evening, a 40-year-old Muslim local government employee was shot dead in Pattani province, police said, while a 58-year-old Buddhist was killed and his wife wounded in a shooting in nearby Yala province. |
