Five more killings in deep South

Published on June 4, 2008

Two security officials helping to guard teachers were in critical condition after being injured in a roadside bomb attack yesterday, police said.

The two were flown by military helicopter to Hat Yai hospital for treatment.

Violence continue elsewhere in the restive region with a shooting in Narathiwat yesterday evening that killed two ethnic Malay residents in their 50s, while a teenager died in a separate attack in the province.

In Pattani, a 45-year-old Buddhist man was shot dead, while in Yala province militants attacked a house, killing a 15-year-old Muslim boy and injuring his four-year-old sister.

Officials at Southern Police Headquarters on Tuesday reported that 475 people had been killed so far this year in violence related to the separatist insurgency.

That raises the total number of people killed since the latest rebellion broke out in January 2004 to more than 3,300.

And its just going to get worse and worse. The cleaner Iraq gets, the more foreign fighters there will be looking for a new front.

Before, all I heard the locals talk about Thailand was the booze and shagging, now its the killiing of innocents in Pak Tai.

Bad indeed

Long may the wars in Iraq and Afganistan continue cause we dont want that <deleted> in Thailand
