Multiple incidents include wedding party shootout

Three Thai soldiers and four suspected separatist terrorists rebels have been killed in a series of incidents across Thailand's far south, including a shootout at a wedding party, police said Wednesday.

One soldier was killed and two of his colleagues injured in a blast in Pattani province late Tuesday, police there said. A man was arrested Wednesday in connection with the attack but he fought with the soldiers driving him to a military camp, causing a car crash which killed a 48-year-old sergeant major and a 22-year-old private. The 34-year-old suspected rebel was also injured in the crash in Yala province, local authorities said.

Later Wednesday in Yala, a group of terrorists militants ambushed a wedding convoy, but some of the villagers headed to the celebration were armed and fought their attackers, killing one suspected rebel, police said. Ten members of the wedding party were injured. Thai security forces also shot dead three suspected terrorists militants during a search of a village in Yala on Wednesday, police said.
