| 2009-11-09 |
| Suspected Islamic insurgents have shot dead four people and wounded another four -- including an eight-year-old girl -- in Thailand's troubled south, police said Monday. Officers Sunday morning found a 34-year-old Buddhist shot dead and his 40-year-old colleague seriously wounded in a jungle in Yala province, where they had been collecting plants to sell at a local market, police said. That afternoon, two gunmen on a motorcycle shot a 46-year-old Buddhist policeman working in Pattani province, who died in hospital. Later in the same province, a 23-year-old Muslim was killed in a drive-by shooting while he was eating in a restaurant. The gunmen wounded three other people, including an eight-year-old girl, police said. On Monday morning a 53-year-old Muslim, the former assistant to a village chief, was shot riding his motorcycle home from a teashop in Narathiwat province. He died in hospital. |
