Suspected militants shot dead a Muslim and two Buddhists in two separate incidents in Thailand's far south, police said on Tuesday, the latest violence in a five-year separatist rebellion.

The 24-year-old Muslim was shot dead and his mother was injured as they rode a motorcycle to a rubber plantation in Pattani, one of three southern provinces roiled by violence that has killed 3,200 people since 2004.

In a nearby district, two Buddhist truck drivers were shot dead and mutilated by four unknown gunmen at a rubber factory, police said.

The killers sped away on two motorcycles with one of the victims' amputated arms

With the victims' amputated arms ?

I see the Reuters article has the compulsory editorial favoring the Islamists or, as they are known to international media, “freedom fighters’(who incidentally like to dismember their opponents).
