More murder in southern Thailand: Muslim man partially beheaded.

SEPARATIST militants in southern Thailand shot a Muslim man and then partially severed his head, while the nation’s junta leader was visiting the region, police said today.

The man, a 29-year-old local government official, was returning from evening prayers late Thursday when he was ambushed by suspected insurgents in Narathiwat province, police said.

The slaying was the most gruesome in a string of attacks around the Muslim-majority region, where more than 2300 people have been killed in three years of separatist unrest.

Ten people, including five soldiers, were hurt in two separate bombings early Friday, while a 54-year-old Buddhist was gunned down in a drive-by shooting late yesterday, police said.
