This time the jihadis in south Thailand injured a photographer for TIME Magazine: Foreign newsman wounded in Yala.

(BangkokPost.com, dpa) - Insurgents shot dead a Buddhist man and burnt his body in an increasingly used atrocity in Yala early Tuesday, before detonating a bomb at police responding to the scene, wounding four people including a foreign photographer.

Police said they were informed of the charred body at around 6.30 a.m. so they rushed to the scene in Muang district. The man was found to have been shot and his motorcycle was also found to have been burnt.

When they arrived at the scene a bomb exploded on the roadside, slightly injuring three police men and Australian photographer Philip Blenkinsop.

“We were lucky that there were no scraps of metal in the bomb,” said Yala Police Lieutenant Colonel Salawudh Wongderm. Blenkinsop, a World Press Photo winner, was only slightly injured by the explosion.

I'd like to know who's Plunkin' the monkeys? -- It was on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. I can't remember the year maybe 10 years ago? They were talking about AIDS and how AIDS all got started, he had 3 theory's. First Frank said something about AIDS being a government test gone wrong Then maybe it was an Alien (ET) test or mistake and finally they talked about the theory of AIDS coming from a monkey and then Frank said " I'd like to know who's plunkin' the monkey's?"
