Seven killed in S Thailand attacks
At least seven people were killed in a series of attacks by suspected Muslim insurgents in south Thailand on Sunday, police said Monday.
A group of gunmen, dressed as women, shot dead two rangers on a checkpoint in the main town of Narathiwat province, Thai media Bangkok Post quoted police as saying.
Two nearby supermarkets were bombed shortly after the shooting, causing fires that took three hours to extinguish. Five bodies were retrieved from burnt buildings. Seven people were injured, the English newspaper reported.
More than 4,800 people have died in a conflict of eight years in southern Thailand. Last month, more than a dozen suspected insurgents attacked a school in Narathiwat, killing four soldiers and seriously wounding one child.
