Southern insurgents attack police outpost



YALA: -- An unknown number of southern militants attacked an outpost of a police special action force Tuesday but caused no casualties.

The outpost is located near the roadside of Highway 4007 from Bannang Dama to Lupo Banyang in Kabang district of Yala.

The militants fired upon the police outpost with assault rifles.

After a brief exchange of gunfire, the militants retreated under cover of darkness.

Meanwhile a police station in Bacho district of Narathiwat was also attacked early Tuesday with M 79 grenade launchers.
The grenade missed the station but hit a house of the police. No one was hurt.

Army rangers in Ra Ngae district also encircled a target at Ban Bago Sato, and apprehended a militant wanted for many serious crimes. Two others managed to escape.

Several rounds of ammunition were seized from the house.

"... such an incident would not happen in Thailand due to the country's tight security measures... " !

OK it wasn't hostage taking but it was terrorism unless opening fire on a police post isn't in the PM's definition of terrorism.

There are none so blind ... !

Militants, new word for an old enemy Muslim terrorist

There is no logic in the South being both terror-ridden Muslim majority and a Democrat stronghold. It simply makes no sense that an oppressed Muslim majority always votes for the Buddhist Bangkok elite. Same thing in the Philippines. The island of Mindanao is primarily Muslim by a large majority, but...somehow...a Catholic always gets elected governor. Must be magic. Simple, consistent magic. A history of people voting for liberation and happiness.

Hogwash.

It's not a conspiracy. It is an outright farce that neither government can explain away, make a convincing argument concerning said topic, nor quantify in any realistic terms.

If it wasn't for the insurgency in the South, the democrats would be entirely marginalized.
