THAILAND-UNREST-SOUTH
15 killed in suspected rebel attacks in Thailand’s south: army
BANGKOK, Nov 6, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – At least fifteen people were killed in attacks by suspected Muslim rebels in Thailand’s violence-wracked south, southern army spokesman Pramote Prom-in said, the largest death toll in years.
“Twelve were killed at the scene, two more (died) at the hospital, and one died this morning,” said Pramote.
The Malay-Muslim south has been in the grip of a bloody insurgency that has killed more than 7,000 people — mostly civilians — over the last 15 years.
