4 dead as insurgents attack in southern Thailand





4 dead as insurgents attack in southern Thailand




Muslim insurgents killed four people and wounded 20 in separate incidents across southern Thailand.

Violence has occurred daily in southern Thailand since Monday's killing of 10 Muslims at a mosque in neighboring Narathiwat province. The attacks are aimed at igniting sectarian conflict between Muslims and Buddhists in Thailand's three -year-old insurgency that has claimed the lives of more than 3,400 people.

The insurgents are fighting to carve out an independent Muslim state from the provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.
