HAT YAI, Thailand (AP) — Gunmen disguised as state security personnel
fatally shot four paramilitary volunteers guarding a school in
insurgency-wracked southern Thailand, police said.
The attackers approached the armed territorial defense volunteers at the
school in Pattani province and shot them dead shortly before noon Thursday,
police Lt. Col. Wicha Nupannoi said. They seized four HK33 assault rifles
from their victims before fleeing, scattering nails and other material on the
road to delay pursuers, he said.
Predominantly Buddhist Thailand’s three southernmost provinces of Pattani,
Yala and Narathiwat have been plagued by a Muslim separatist insurgency that
has claimed the lives of about 7,000 people since 2004, according to the
research group Deep South Watch, which monitors the region.
On Tuesday, a bomb outside a school and a car bomb elsewhere exploded in
nearby Songkhla province, wounding a 12-year-old student, a security guard
for teachers and a police medic. A flurry of similar attacks took place in
the last week of December. Several targeted Songkhla, which previously had
been largely spared the violence.
“The insurgents consider school officials to be symbolic of the Thai
Buddhist state’s occupation of Malay Muslim territory,” Human Rights Watch
said in a statement. “They have frequently targeted security personnel
assigned to provide students and teachers safe passage to and from school, or
protecting the school grounds.”
The attacks have occurred during an effort to revitalize peace talks between
the Thai government and some insurgent groups. Analysts say the most militant
group, the Barisan Revolusi Nasional, is not taking part.
Thai Defense Minister Prawit Wongsuwan blamed the BRN for Tuesday’s
bombings. He said the authorities would have to step up efforts to prevent
the attacks.
Human Rights Watch also pinned the blame for the region’s ongoing violence
on the BRN.
The insurgents “attack schools and medical clinics to maim and terrify
Buddhist civilians, control the Muslim population, and discredit Thai
authorities,” Brad Adams, the group’s Asia director, said in the statement.
“Whatever the rationale, targeting civilians is morally indefensible and a
war crime.”

兩天前學校附近也遭阿拉花瓜(汽車炸彈攻擊)，造成一位12歲小孩、安全人員、
警察受傷。
人權觀察亞洲主任布拉德亞當斯:
這些恐怖分子攻擊學校跟醫院是為了恐嚇佛教平民、控制穆斯林人口、降低泰國當局
信用。 不管如何，針對平民的攻擊在道德上都不可護航的。
