The fourth insurgent, holding out in a house in Chana district of Thailand’s southern province of Songkhla, was captured by security forces on Thursday evening, following a siege which lasted over ten hours and killings of three other insurgents at the house in a clash yesterday.

 

The fourth suspect sustained a bullet wound to his left leg. He was taken to the interrogation centre at the Ingkhayutthaborihan military camp in Nong Chik district of Pattani province for questioning.  An M16 assault rifle was found in his possession.

 

A security officer said that the suspect managed to escape into a nearby mosque during the siege. He was found after the force had stormed the house and failed to locate him, prompting them to search the nearby masjid.
