YALA (Thailand) - THREE Muslim civilians, including a married couple, have been shot dead in Thailand's insurgency-plagued south, police said on Friday.
Unknown gunmen killed a 33-year-old man and his wife, 23, at an evening market in Narathiwat province on Thursday.
In a separate incident on the same night, a 23-year-old man was killed in drive-by shooting in Yala province.
Two police officers, who had just finished providing security for local teachers, were also wounded in a roadside blast in Pattani province.
The bloodshed comes after armed rebels staged an unusually brazen attack on a Thai military base in Narathiwat on Wednesday night, killing at least four soldiers and wounding several more.
Shadowy insurgents have waged a violent campaign in the southern region bordering Malaysia since early 2004, leaving more than 4,400 people dead, including Muslims and Buddhists. -- AFP
