Teen killed in Narathiwat gunfight

A 14-year-old suspect was killed when Army paramilitary rangers engaged in a gunfight with a gang of insurgents in Si Sakhon district in Narathiwat yesterday.

In a separate incident in Bannang Sata district, Yala, later in the day, insurgents blasted an Army squad with a roadside bomb, wounding one of them. In the Narathiwat shootout just before 7.30am, seven insurgents on four motorcycles opened fire on a security outpost.

After the resulting gunfight, the insurgents fled.

The dead teenager had a pistol and was lying beside a motorcycle. Police were trying to determine his identity, after learning he was a native of Narathiwat's Muang district and lived at Village Five in tambon Lamphoo.

About two hours after the gunfight, the roadside bomb in Yala went off as soldiers were on a foot patrol escorting teachers. A private was slightly wounded.

Explosives Ordnance Disposal personnel said the home-made bomb weighed 5 kilograms and was packed in a metal box and detonated by electric wiring.

14yrs old.....child soldiers....that sounds about right for these low life people!

I am afraid that once someone is shot, they immediately become an insurgent.

If the 3 in the back of the car are Thai then I will walk north. I think I will be very safe heading south.

I'm afraid that once some people read these reports they immediately re-invent the report to suit their own ends. The boy who was killed had a pistol and was part of a gang of insurgents involved in a gunfight with the authorities.

He may or may not have been a terrorist, however I recall that guns or drugs were deliberately placed beside innocent victims during the war on drugs. There is a history of covering up killings by employing such tactics.

I'm not suggesting this is what happened here, but if it did it wouldn't be the first time.

The armed member of the provincial civil defence service looks powerful enough to be a deterrent, even unarmed. I wouldn't like to antagonise him. No wonder the guy in the back of the van is smiling nicely.

Not quite sure what you mean, but are you thinking, "They don't look Thai to me" ?

When someone is shot, it is reported that they were an insurgent.

Whether it is the case or not.

All 3000, 6000, 20000, or however many were executed on the spot by the authorities during the War on Drugs a decade ago, were all drug dealers. Absolutely. 100%

And you have proof of this? Or just speculating?

The ISIS has declared that they want world domination. These are radical Islamist, who have no regard for any religion except ones that follow their interpretation of the Koran, and the Shariah.

Recruitment for terrorist in these Muslim communities start at an early age...tragic for teens and family...all though the family has been duped into thinking their son has done a noble deed...very sad for this region of Thailand...and many other parts of the world...

I'm relatively new here (but not in the real world)

Could you please tell me if Southern Thais look like this OR Northern Malays?

Look up the The Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 & you will understand Thai Muslims in the deep South are Malay origin

And what's that got to do with this story?

Everything!

There are huge similarities between the terror caused by ISIS and by southern Muslims in Thailand.

Nonsense.

Even al qaeda scum have disowned them and their actions.

Hyperbole comparing these IS scum and the terrorists in the south is just BS. I have no sympathy for either group but they are not the same.

[H1w4yR1da]

I didn't say they were 'the same'. I said there were 'huge similarities'. Please don't misquote me.

Some of these similarities are killing anyone who's not Muslim and beheading their enemies. Wake up!

Fine. Just apply everything I said above to the word similarities and add a huge side serving of additional "nonsense".

[H1w4yR1da]

Not so much nonsense as your posts.

Keep telling yourself that.

They have completely different motivations and goals.

They kill people; all terrorist scum, Mexican drug gangs and other detritus of society do that. They are all the filth of humanity and deserve all that comes their way.

But IS are far more dangerous, violent and genocidally inclined than the scum killing in the south. They are not similar, the same or whatever.

To compare them is just nonsense.

religion of peace, killing innocent teachers, people

[Bluespunk]

I think you'll find it was a 14 year old boy who was killed by the military. I don't know what the religion of those who killed him was. Do you have information on this?

[H1w4yR1da]

If you're going to run with Islamic terrorists, this kind of thing is to be expected.

[Bluespunk]

If you're going to run with Islamic terrorists, this kind of thing is to be expected.

If you run with terrorists, yes you do. The religion is irrelevant. Terrorist scum are scum irrespective of their faith.

What on Earth is that supposed to mean?

In Thailand it is PC speak. It means that Thai people do not do nasty things to other Thai people. If it is nasty they must have come from somewhere else. All these mindless murdering thugs are Insurgents. Except this time when they mentioned his home Tambon & village so perhaps only this one is not an "insurgent." Or as a 14 year old child, he was brainwashed somehow from abroard.

Whatever the dynamics it is all profoundly sad and what is the way out? Don't tell me it is giving them independent home rule & Sharia law!!!!!!!!!!!!!

None of these people doing the killings are fighting for an independent Islamic country or implementing Sharia law. They are just gangsters getting paid to kill. They don't really care who they kill so long as they get paid. How do I know this? I know because I live in the Deep South and there is totally no pattern to the killings. And there is absolutely no religious justification for what they do. Not to compare them to ISIS but basically, they are just as lunatic and mad and mindless as the ISIS.
