| Thai army detains 50 in Muslim village raid |
| 2007-07-01 |
| Thai security forces raided a village in the rebellious Muslim south on Sunday and detained 50 men with bomb-making material, an army spokesman said. The detainees were taken for questioning to an army camp in Narathiwat, one of three provinces where more than 2,300 people have been killed in a three-year separatist insurgency in the Malay-speaking region. The dawn raid, which involved 100 troops and police, followed tipoffs from villagers that a group of militants were hiding in the village, Colonel Atthadej Mathanom told Reuters by telephone. The detainees can be held without charge for 28 days under an emergency law. Last month, the army detained 160 Muslims after rebels intensified attacks on government schools, civil servants and security forces. |

| #4 I'm sure that will cure them from jihad. Hey, even if it doesn't, we'll still have a lot less to worry about. |

| #3 Bury them in the ground up to their necks and run a herd of elephants over them - six or seven times. I'm sure that will cure them from jihad. |

| #1 The detainees were taken for questioning to an army camp in Narathiwat Bets that they'd prefer Gitmo? I'm sure the usual suspects will be righteously complaining about the detention tomorrow, or the next day, or the next week. Maybe next month? Oh, that's right, these are Americans doing the detaining. Nevermind. |
