| Islamist militants in the South have shot and killed three Burmese workers, beheading one of the dead men in the 26th such atrocity since the conflict flared in early 2004.. Police say that six insurgents attacked a construction site in Pattani province, where around 15 Burmese workers were camped on the job. The attackers fired indiscriminately into the group of workers, wounding four in addition to killing three of the men. The attack may have been a mistake by the insurgents, however. They left a note on the body which said, "kill the innocent and we kill Thai Buddhists." It indicated they did not know the construction workers were immigrant labourers. In a separate incident, a 3kg (6.6 pound) improvised bomb triggered by mobile phone exploded in a crowded market in Yala province on Monday, wounding eight people, police said. In Narathiwat, suspected insurgents burned down a school building in the town. The fire left students from first to third year without a schoolhouse. |

| #1 TERRORISM. Ya see, we have a perfectly word for deliberate, barbaric murder or injury of innocents. It's called TERRORISM. A few years into the orwellian era of utterly twisted English by the media, I'm still not used to it and it still makes me angry. |
