Insurgents shot dead in far South

Four insurgents and a former separatist insurgent have been killed in three separate incidents in the far South since Monday night.

Three insurgents were killed and three soldiers wounded when paramilitary rangers clashed with a group of militants in Pattani’s Panare district on Tuesday, reports said.

The fight began at about 11am when members of No 44 Paramilitary Ranger Unit were patrolling the Panare-Saiburi road at moo 2 in tambon Thakham, and lasted about 25 minutes.

    They were surrounded by (100 rangers) they opened fired on the rangers, who fired back. But they still manage to escape? Maybe they have tunnels? Trying to picture it.
