A group of 21 southern insurgents was caught on CCTV causing havoc in Tak Bai. They are suspected to be part of a group led by Muhammad Fami, a key operational leader.

 

The incidents occurred in Tak Bai district and the boundary area of Muno sub-district, Su-ngai Kolok district, on the night of October 21. The insurgents planted bombs, fired shots, threw pipe bombs at checkpoints, and even targeted electricity poles.

 

The CCTV cameras installed on electricity poles and residential homes managed to capture the behaviours of the southern insurgents’ group. The group used military-grade firearms, M.16 and AK, along with pipe bombs to attack the checkpoints.

 

Another group of approximately seven insurgents placed a heavy bomb weighing 20 kilograms near the entrance of Saeng Charoen gold shop, intending to rob it. However, the bomb failed to fully detonate, preventing the insurgents from entering the shop.

Then Army Chief Gen Prawit Wongsuwong was in overall control of military operations at the time perhaps somebody can try and wake him from his nap time to shed some light on the event.

He has been very quiet lately.. I wonder if they'll wheel him out for some thing soon, after-all he is drawing a salary I believe.

Shouldn't the Thai military be dropping JDAMs and other large munitions on suspected "insurgent" terrorists and the neighborhoods that they live in?
Doesn't Thailand have a right to defend itself???

before he called himself TonyWoodsome he was PM and he ordered the raid on the TakBai-Mosk, several people died that day, mostly because they were stacked laying down in trucks, many layers when they were brought away...

I think you are confusing Krue Se Mosque massacre with the TakBai Incident. Tak Bai was a protest outside a police station there in protest of the detention of six men. The army detained about 1300 protesters and then transported them stacked in the back of army trucks for five hours to an army camp. 78 died of suffocation and organ failure.
