FIVE people were shot dead and one policeman was wounded in a string of drive-by shootings by suspected Islamic militants in Thailand's restive Muslim-majority south, police said.
A 60-year-old Buddhist cattle raiser was gunned down while walking, before suspected insurgents burned his body and left it on the roadside in Yala, one of three violence-torn southern provinces bordering Malaysia.
A 52-year-old Buddhist street ice cream seller was also shot dead on Friday by two suspected insurgents on a motorcycle in Yala where another Muslim villager, 27, was killed late on the same day while riding a motorcycle, police said.
In neighboring Pattani province on Friday, a Buddhist security guard, 35, was shot dead while riding a motorcycle after work. Another Buddhist villager, 33, was gunned down later in the day when he was shopping at a food market.
Early on Saturday, a border patrol policeman was seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting.
The insurgency in Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani provinces has killed more than 1600 people in separatist violence and other unrest since January 2004.

" Local government officials, police, military and Buddhists are often targeted by Islamic militants, but Muslims seen as sympathetic to the government are also attacked."
We'd better wake up, as it's only a matter of time before this madness becomes a regular occurrence here.
One day the world will wake up and realise that you must either join this cult or destroy it.
There is no second choice.
If the decision is to join ,that doesnt solve the problem either since Islamics enjoy killing each other as much as they enjoy killing infidels.
So that only leaves one choice doesnt it?
aww those peaceful muslims
We have been lucky not to have had another 9-11 since 9-11...
Lucky to have had a President who has tried hard to fight the terrorist.
If we get a NY Times approved President...look out.
In some ways it has already begun. It is isolated incidents and most disappear from the MSM as soon as they appear.

Thai Ping
Anyone notice that these weren't youths, that this wasn't "ethnic violence, and that yes, these were indeed Muslim Islamists?
Well, that just tell you that this wasn't the American press.
The Aussie press seems much more in touch on this particular issue, especially over at the Australian.

John Howard gets it , too.
The muzzies see the world as : muslim, slave, or dead.
Time to bury 'em with pig guts!
Oh no! They have started killing Buddhists now! Yawn...
Kind of hoping there will be good news. Thanks for the ping though.
I wonder how long the Thais will put up with it?
