Islamic terrorists in South Thailand are upset that “innocent Muslims” are being arrested by Thai security forces.
To protest this injustice, they decapitated a 63-year old Buddhist man and left his head on display. (Hat tip: Nannette.)
The restive South took a turn for the worse yesterday as suspected Muslim militants decapitated a rubber-tapper and threatened to carry out more killings if security forces continued to arrest “innocent Muslims”.
Sieng Padkaew, 63, a resident of Narathiwat’s Sungai Padi district, was beheaded by an unknown number of assailants on his rubber plantation about two kilometres from his house in tambon Toh Daeng yesterday morning before dawn.
A typed note saying, “If you arrest innocent Malay, we will kill innocent Thai Buddhist”, was left on Sieng’s body, while his severed head was placed about 60 metres away on a nearby dirt road - apparently so people passing would see it.
Eyewitnesses said Somsri, Sieng’s wife, begged hysterically for her husband’s head to be sewn back on. They said the two were born in the area, had lived there all their lives, did not have any problems with anybody, and she had no idea why her husband was attacked.
