Three killed, nine wounded in southern Thailand
2008-05-02
Two Muslims and a Buddhist have been killed in southern Thailand in two separate incidents bearing the hallmarks of reprisal attacks in the jihad violence-plagued, predominantly Muslim region.

Four suspected Muslim terrorists militants armed with automatic rifles attacked the district office of a Buddhist volunteer militia in Pattani province late on Thursday, killing one Buddhist and wounding another, police said. Less than an hour later, a hand grenade was thrown into a small mosque in a nearby district where about a dozen Muslims were praying. Two people were killed and eight wounded, police said.

Army spokesman Acra Tiproche said it was too early to talk about reprisals between religious groups in the region, where more than 3,000 people have died in a four-year Malay Muslim separatist campaign. "I can't say at this point whether they are connected or not," Acra said from Bangkok.
