Rubber tapper killed as terror continues in southern Thailand
2009-02-24
Terrorists Suspected militants shot dead a rubber tapper and seriously injured his wife yesterday morning as insurgency violence continues, apparently unabated, in the southernmost province. Police said the victim died from wounds to his chest and back and his wife, who fled through the rubber plantation, suffered severe injuries before being rescued by local residents.

In a second incident yesterday, a roadside bomb targeting a security unit patrolling the outback of Sukirin district went off but failed to inflict any injuries.

In nearby Pattani's Tambon Pakaharang, a resident was wounded but survived after four gunmen on two motorbikes, using 11mm and AK-47 weapons, fired several shots at him as he was riding his motorcycle. Mahyuding Che-loh, 36, was taken to a nearby hospital by local residents.
