#1 Doesn't sound like terrorism. If it had been, I'd think we'd have seen more than two people targetted at a 'popular tourist site'. Wait for corroboration of the official version of events, I suppose, but my guess is a bungled robbery or, as the story suggests, pissed off or inebriated tourists running into the local 'Mr Angry'.

#8 "The man who shot them tried to mediate, then got into a loud argument with the couple himself before pulling out a gun and pumping three bullets into the woman and two into the man, Police Major Chavalit Piakaew told Reuters."

I haven't heard of too many "terrorists" who've ever tried to mediate. Usually they just shoot people in the back, preferably women and children.

There's gotta be more to this story than just an argument. Maybe a drug deal gone bad.

#13 Carl, how about don't choose an armed mediator to settle an argument. Respect the armed mediators word as final.
