In south Thailand, the severed head of a Buddhist slaughtered by jihadis was discovered on a provincial road—booby-trapped.
Jitr Techawanto was one of two local men killed and beheaded at home in Pattani’s Yaring district Wednesday night.
The homes of the two were set afire and burned to the ground with their bodies inside.
Mr. Jitr’s missing head was found on a provincial road early Friday as part of a booby trap. A powerful remote-controlled bomb was found 10 metres from the severed head, intentionally-placed by insurgents.
Police believe that the eight-kilogramme bomb was placed on a tree to kill security forces responding to the incident. However, police located the device and bomb disposal experts defused it before the bomb was detonated.
Meanwhile, more than 100 schools in Pattani’s four districts closed Friday as teachers fear of continuing violence.
