YALA, Thailand: Suspected Muslim militants decapitated a
rubber-tapper and displayed his head on a stick outside his house
in the latest violence in Thailand's troubled south, police said
Monday.
The attack comes amid a recent spike in bloodshed in the restive
Muslim-majority region bordering Malaysia, where more than 3,700
people have been killed during a bitter five-year insurgency.
Police said the 53-year-old victim's body was found with the head,
hands and lower legs removed at his makeshift house on a rubber
plantation in volatile Yala province on Monday morning.
The attackers stuck his head on a stick and put it in front of the
building, they said.
In neighbouring Narathiwat province, a suspected insurgent gunman
riding a motorcycle shot dead a Muslim man in front of his house,
also on Monday, police said.
Meanwhile a bomb hidden inside a motorcycle and triggered by mobile
phone exploded in Narathiwat on Sunday evening, injuring ten people
who were shopping at a weekend market, they added.
======================
I think South thailand will fall to the
insurgents.....just like Afganistan and Iraq....the world does not
have the will to fight....
Only Singapore goes all the way to hammer Mas
Selamat....good thing he got caught, else our heads would be on
display.....
The insurgents winning is actually bad for them really. Right
now they can strike from the dark and is difficult to track, once
they win and become independant they become an open target.
It's not a matter of will. Thailand could try to exterminate
them, then the world would condemn them for being too harsh. It's
just that you can't please everyone..
