NARATHIWAT, Thailand : A Chinese man was found shot dead in Thailand's Muslim-majority south on Sunday, police said, blaming separatist rebels for the rare killing of a foreigner in the insurgency-hit region.

Cai Wensheng, a 55-year-old carpet vendor, was found at a local teashop in Narathiwat province with two bullet wounds to the head.

Local police said Wensheng and two Chinese colleagues were in the area to sell carpets, but were fired upon by two suspected militants on a motorcycle who were posing as clients.

The two other men escaped without injury, police added.
