Two Buddhists and Muslim killed in Thailand’s un-restive south
I smell a revenge killing here but read it as written.
PATTANI, Thailand: Suspected militants shot dead a Muslim and two Buddhists in two separate incidents in Thailand’s far south, police said on Tuesday, the latest violence in a five-year separatist rebellion.
The 24-year-old Muslim was shot dead and his mother was injured as they rode a motorcycle to a rubber plantation in Pattani, one of three southern provinces roiled by violence that has killed 3,200 people since 2004.
In a nearby district, two Buddhist truck drivers were shot dead and mutilated by four unknown gunmen at a rubber factory, police said.
