Yahoo! News/AP
Muslim militants fatally shot a Buddhist teacher as he pulled out of his driveway to head to work Thursday in restive southern Thailand, police said. Officers detained two suspects in the attack...The victim became the first teacher slain this year in Thailand's restive south, where more than 80 Buddhist teachers are among the more than 2,800 people killed since a Muslim insurgency in January 2004...Public school teachers, viewed by insurgents as government collaborators, are targeted along with civil servants and local officials in almost daily attacks in Thailand's southernmost provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat. The three provinces are the only Muslim-dominated areas in the Buddhist country.

Police investigators inspect the explosion site at the entrance of the Congress building in Manila.
Thai Insurgents Attack as Prime Minister Visits

Suspected Muslim separatists [with links to al Qaeda] in Thailand's deep South taunted the authorities by ambushing an army patrol Monday as Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont visited the troubled region. In what may have been an attempt to replicate the wiping out of an entire Thai army unit a week ago, insurgents detonated a bomb near the foot patrol, then followed up with heavy gunfire. The soldiers, guarding railway passengers in Narathiwat's Rue So district, 770 kilometers south of Bangkok, were able to return fire, although eight soldiers suffered injuries, according to the Thai News Agency. A week ago an eight-man patrol tasked with guarding teachers in the same province was blown up in a Humvee vehicle and then all finished off by gunfire. The insurgents beheaded the patrol leader before they withdrew.

Terrorist Presence Stirs Philippine Town
Sun-Star (PH)
Tension gripped this town Tuesday as news spread that a band of suspected Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) combatants is poised to harass civilians. Town Mayor Yasser Sampurna said the police and the military have beefed up their forces for any eventuality. At least four 6 x 6 military trucks carrying soldiers have arrived here to augment the police force. Mayor Sampurna said the local government will not let the incident in 2000 happen again where the MILF led by Abdulrahman Macapaar, alias commander Bravo, took over the municipal hall without firing a shot. Hundreds of civilians have evacuated to safer places, according to the town police. The incident in 2000 triggered the armed conflict between government and MILF forces, which constrained former president Joseph Estrada to declare an "all out war" against the MILF.

Up to five explosions rocked Thailand's troubled south early today, injuring dozens of people in a town on the Malaysian border. Bombs planted at entertainment venues across Sun Ngai Kolok town in Narathiwat province wounded 27 people, police said..."It was likely done by militants who target innocent people during new year," said police Colonel Prabphan Meemongkon. More than 2800 people have been killed in four years of separatist violence in Thailand's south, which was an ethnic Malay sultanate until Buddhist Thailand annexed it a century ago, provoking decades of tension. Today's attacks come one year after blasts hit the capital Bangkok on New Year's Eve 2006, killing three people.
