One wanted militant killed in gunfight with security forces in Pattani

 

 

One militant, wanted by authorities, was shot dead by security forces in a raid on a hideout in Nong Chik district of Thailand’s southernmost province of Pattani Thursday afternoon.

 

The victim was later identified as Sarisan Amri, 37, who was the subject of five outstanding arrest warrants for his suspected involvement in a series of offences in the restive province.

 

About 100 troops and para-military rangers, led by Colonel Komkit Rattanachaya and Colonel Harnphon Petmuan, rushed to Village Two of Tambon Bang Khao in Nong Chik yesterday where a group of suspected militants was reported to be hiding.

restive province

Funny choice of words.

'restive': tense, uneasy, unquiet.

That's like calling the situation in Eastern Ukraine 'restive'.

But then Prayut has blamed the news media reporting on the southern insurgency for creating a false urgency to the insurgency by focusing insurgency activities.

So best behave and soft report - call it 'restive' reporting.

well done.
