The jihad continues in Thailand, despite groveling and appeasement from the military coup-installed government. Reuters calls it an “insurgency”—to restore an Islamic sultanate that hasn’t existed for a hundred years: Three Buddhist women dead in south Thailand attack.
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Suspected separatist militants on motorbikes killed three Buddhist farmworkers in Thailand’s far south as they traveled to work on Monday, a local official said.
Four gunmen ambushed a pick-up truck carrying 19 farmworkers in Pattani, one of three far south provinces where most of the separatist violence has occurred over the past three years, the official said. …
On Sunday, attackers shot dead a man and two women, all Buddhists, in another part of Songkhla. The man, a rubber tapper, and a mother and daughter taking a break from work at a charcoal furnace were killed by gunmen on motorcycles, police said.
The insurgency in the provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat — an Islamic sultanate until annexed by Bangkok a century ago — has shown no signs of abating since the coup and a government apology for Thaksin’s hardline policies.
