Thailand: Muslim militants blamed for deadly mosque attack
2009-06-10
[ADN Kronos] At least 10 people were killed and 12 others injured when gunmen opened fire on a mosque in southern Thailand during evening prayers on Monday. Several gunmen armed with assault rifles entered the mosque in the Cho-ai-rong district of restive Narathiwat province and fired on worshippers, police said. "They opened fire indiscriminately at about 50 worshippers inside the mosque," a police official said on condition of anonymity. The dead included the local imam, he said.
I'm guessing they were the wrong flavor Muslim, not nearly devout enough...
The attack in the Muslim-majority south comes amid a recent spate of violence in a five-year insurgency that has left at least 3,400 people dead.
Most of them unarmed.
Police said at least five gunmen carried out the attack, one of the deadliest incidents since an Islamic separatist insurgency was launched in Thailand's three southernmost provinces in early 2004.
