A Malaysian national was killed after an unidentified number of southern separatists attacked a police road checkpoint in Tak Bai district of Narathiwat province on Sunday night.

 

The gun attack prompted the southern security personnel to impose maximum security measures by setting up mobile checkpoints on key southern highways passing 13 sensitive districts in the three insurgency plagued provinces as more violence is anticipated as this month marks the 13th anniversary of the Tak Bai incident.

 

The Malaysian victim was identified as Wanrusaril Ben Wan Mohammed, 31.

Malaysian killed by stray bullet in Narathiwat attack

By The Nation

 

Muslim insurgents opened fire at a security checkpoint on a road in Narathiwat’s Tak Bai district on Sunday night, killing a Malaysian tourist whose motorcycle was being checked.

 

Police said the attack happened at 9.12pm in Ban Tama village in Tambon Jehheh of Tak Bai.

 

As Tak Bai police chief Pol Colonel Patcharapol Na-Nakho, and deputy inspector Pol Lieutenant Watana Thurarat, rushed to the scene, their vehicle was ambushed when insurgents detonated a roadside bomb.

 

No one was injured in the explosion near a petrol station about 1 kilometre from the attacked road checkpoint, but a police vehicle and a power pole were damaged. The explosion also caused a power blackout in the area.

 

The body of the Malaysian tourist was kept at the Narathiwat Hospital pending arrival of relatives.
