Multiple attacks in southern Thailand leave two dead
2010-02-09
Terrorists Suspected militants have shot and killed a government official and a teacher in the latest ambush attacks in Thailand's restive south, police say. They said a 41-year-old Muslim district leader in the Raman area of troubled Yala province was killed when militants hiding near his home shot him early on Monday morning in his backyard.

On Monday evening, two terrorists suspected militants on a motorcycle targeted a 51-year-old male Buddhist teacher in Pattani province as he rode his motorcycle towards his home in neighbouring Yala. The men set fire to the teacher's body and stole his motorcycle.

At sunset, another group of terrorists suspected militants travelling by car opened fire on two local defence volunteers, aged 29 and 35, riding a motorcycle in Pattani province. Both volunteers remain in hospital with serious injuries.

And:

Police say terrorists suspected insurgents detonated a bomb as two truckloads of soldiers passed, wounding seven troops in Thailand's restive south. Police Lt. Heraman Jehdee says the attack happened Monday afternoon soon after the vehicles with 38 soldiers left a camp in Bo-ngo sub-district in Narathiwat province. He says police found a gas canister at the scene used to plant the mobile phone-triggered explosive device.

Also:

A car bomb suspect allegedly involved in a series of bombings in Thailand's southern province of Narathiwat on Tuesday turned himself in to police investigators. Department of Special Investigation (DSI) director-general Tharit Pengdit told a news conference that a suspect identified as Amri Jeso was escorted by Narathiwat member of parliament Nujmuddin Uma. He was believed to be involved with several incidents including a car bombing at the Sungai Kolok Police Station in August 2008, at the Merlin Hotel in October 2009 and at the Marina Hotel in February 2005, as well as the 2004 fatal attack on a military camp in Narathiwat's Cho Airong district which a group of insurgents made off with numerous firearms.

The suspect was charged with supporting insurgent acts, premeditated murder, illegal possession of arms, ammunition and explosive devices, and causing others to damage, injury or death.
