Thailand: Another Buddhist slain

Posted by Raymond on November 11, 2008 10:49 AM

One week earlier, jihadists purged a Thailand village of its last Buddhist family (by, among other things, [1] shooting a 72 year-old woman in the head). Wonder who was behind this latest, and equally cowardly, attack?

"Buddhist killed in drive-by shooting in Songkhla," from [2] The Nation, November 11 (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):

Pattani - A gunman riding pillion on a motorbike shot dead a local resident in Nong Chick district as he was getting of his pickup truck.

Police said the gunman fired five shots at close range but hit Somchai Somsiriwiriyadej, 30, a native of Songkhla's Hat Yai, with two bullets. He died on the way to the hospital. The attack took place Monday evening.
