A trader in scrap rubber was killed and his wife and younger sister seriously wounded by a gunman in Rangae district of Narathiwat province on Monday morning.

Pol Capt Boonsak Noomat, the duty officer at Rangae police station, said the attack occurred about 9.50am on a roadside in a rubber plantation of Ban Bangoyae in tambon Tanyong Limo.

According to witnesses, while Nase Uma, 32, and his wife Ropi-a Mading, 30, and younger sister Karatini Uma were sorting scrap rubber they had bought, two men arrived on a motorcycle and the pillion rider shot Nase one time in the head with an AK47 rifle, killing him on the spot.

If the authorities are dead serious and determined to launch a massive hunt down operation, those liable militants would definitely have very less opportunities to kill innocents at their random!!!

Picking up on D1's point, the killers ride around on. lets assume small bikes with limited range. Stands to reason they do not ride for 50 k with guns over their shoulders looking for victims. You would think even country cops could do basic mapping and identify likely base locations.

The killers need fuel , food , cloths , weapons. How hard can it be to find them ?

Very sad, and unfortunately very common now in Thailand.

These murderers think they're doing god's work by killing innocent people, because they've been told that by their religious leaders. But there is no public outcry from the muslim clerics and mullahs in the deep south at the mosques on Fridays. Without their condemnation of these horrendous and obscene killings these brainwashed terrorists believe that their actions are justified and sanctioned by Allah.

'Sort out' these rabid muslim clerics and maybe the problem will diminish. Hate can be taught, but so can compassion.

A scrap trader killed for nothing.

Killing people who don't have the means to fight back. Just goes to show that these insurgents just ride around picking up easy targets.

I think the army need better equipment, training to deal with them.

What happened about the blimp? I heard that was supposed to be operational sometime this month. A waste of money that will never work. I guess the soldiers and protecting the innocents are less important.
