Kuala Lumpur : One soldier and two civilians were killed Tuesday in a shooting and a bomb attack staged by suspected separatist insurgents in Thailand’s Muslim-majority far south, police said.
Local media quoted the police as saying that a Thai army private died early this morning after he and five other soldiers were seriously wounded when a powerful roadside bomb exploded near their armored vehicle in Narathiwat province yesterday afternoon.
Also on Monday, two men were shot dead in separate attacks in neighboring Pattani province, police there said.
More than 3,500 people have been killed in southern Thailand since separatist violence erupted there five years ago.
