rooster59 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Two suspected insurgents killed, girl injured in Children's Day firefight By The Nation Two suspected insurgents were killed and a young Muslim girl was injured by a stray bullet when rangers and police clashed with three suspects in Pattani's Yaring district early on Saturday, National Children's Day. Pol Capt Kachornsak Kuamanee, deputy inspector at the Yaring police station, said the incident began about 5am and officers are still involved in a standoff with the third suspect. He said about 100 rangers and policemen were deployed to surround a house in Moo 3 village in Tambon Talo Kapo where three suspected insurgents were allegedly hiding. When authorities arrived, people inside the house opened fire on them. A ranger and a girl, Koiru Imbadeesan, 9, were injured in the gunfire and were rushed to Pattani Hospital. The authorities continued to fight with the three people throughout the morning. They say two of the suspects were shot dead while the third suspect continues to fire at them. Kachornsak said authorities would invite a local spiritual leader to talk to the suspect to persuade him to give up his arms.

Srikcir Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 5 hours ago, rooster59 said: a young Muslim girl was injured by a stray bullet 5 hours ago, rooster59 said: rangers and police clashed with three suspects 5 hours ago, rooster59 said: 100 rangers and policemen were deployed to surround a house 5 hours ago, rooster59 said: the incident began about 5am I'd guess that "stray" bullet came from outside the house. Stray only because it didn't hit a suspected insurgent? Two suspected insurgents killed after an assault by a hundred rangers and police, still one remains in a stand off. I get the sense of complete strategic incompetence on the part of the Thai authorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Usual Thai fiasco, 100 rangers against 3 insurgents holed up in a house. Lob in a few smokes canisters & flush them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
