A search and kill hunt for Buddhist officials in Narathiwat province on Thursday has sparked fears that insurgents are shifting their target from teachers to government officials.

Seven armed men stormed into the Bacho Tambon Administration Organisation (TAO) office around noon on Thursday and burned it down after failing to find any Buddhist employees to kill.

Abdulwaha Dulayapinij, the office chief, told the police he and seven other employees were just leaving for lunch.

Coming right on the heels of this weeks provocative and misleading statement by a Muslim organization head that militants has a saying , kill a Buddhist and get a bonus, this is highly suspicious.

Facts show the Muslim spokesperson was totally wrong , Muslims and Buddhists are murdered equally. This is something deliberate and you would have to be suspicious of the role of the Muslim organization in fostering separatism.
