Who could it be?

Not the Buddhists...
Are there Quakers in Bangkok?
Maybe Episcopalians?

Hi All-

Any FReeper posting the sophomoric and trite "Thailand?" post after this notification is a dimwit. God Bless the decent, kind, and pro-American people of that beautiful country.

Senseless murders by the usual suspects,and still no acknowledgement that the world is at war with Islam.

Didn't they just have a military coup over there (by 'moderate' muslims) that was supposed to bring peace with the islamic guerillas??

The false prophet has zombie legions in Thailand. A few days ago two Buddhist teachers were killed and burned in Southern Thailand http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/BKK139386.htm

MUSLIMS hard at work in Thailand--->>>

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/BKK139386.htm

YALA, Thailand, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Suspected separatists shot dead two Buddhist teachers on Friday and burnt their bodies in Thailand's rebellious Muslim south, police said, the latest attack in a three-year insurgency that has killed more than 1,800.

The teachers were ambushed in their pickup truck only 300 metres (yards) from the village school where they taught in the southern province of Yala, police said. Security forces are bracing for a new round of attacks on government buildings, officials and civilians to mark the third anniversary of the renewed insurgency on January 4, police said.

"We knew they were going to do it, but we didn't know the target," Police Colonel Pumipetch Pipatpetchpoom said of the attackers. "Our security checkpoints have blocked them from entering the city, so they had to do it in a village," he added.

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the violence which has seen almost daily gun and bomb attacks in the three predominantly Muslim southern provinces bordering Malaysia.

Thailand's military-appointed government has embarked on a peace drive in the Malay-speaking region, an independent sultanate until the Buddhist-dominated Bangkok government annexed it a century ago. But the attacks have continued.

The Education Ministry said this week 110 schools had been hit by arson attacks and 71 teachers and school staff killed in attacks since January 2004.

Here's view looking from the pedestrian walk at Sapan Kwai (buffalo bridge.) This is from where the grenade was thrown.
I lived within a block of this area for over 3 years.
