Three Muslims have been shot dead by suspected Islamic terrorists rebels and seven others have been injured in a string of shootings in Thailand's restive south, police say.
A 34-year-old Muslim government official was gunned down on Wednesday in a drive-by shooting in Yala, one of three jihad insurgency-torn provinces bordering Malaysia. Later in the day, gunmen opened fire on five Muslims who were sitting outside a house in Yala, killing one and wounding four others.
Terrorists Militants also ambushed a motorcycle carrying three Muslims late on Wednesday - one man was shot dead with two others injured. One Buddhist villager was also shot and wounded in a separate attack late on Wednesday. |
