Thailand 2017 Insurgent Attacks

Thailand 2017 Insurgent Attacks --- ===

When terrorists take down power poles with explosives in Thailand, does that explain why some people in US "accidentally" drive into power poles and then flee in hit and run attacks?

*Timeline

2017[edit]



2 March: Four members of a family were killed including an eight year-old boy and two other children wounded in an ambush in Narathiwat Province. The assailants fled the scene.[211]

3 March: Three Thai soldiers were gunned down at a busy evening market by suspected militants in Mayo District of Pattani Province.[212] A security guard was shot dead in Ban Buketkong village of tambon Lubo Yirai.[213] A group representing 300 Buddhist leaders and activists in the south called on the prime minister, as leader of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), to invoke Section 44 of the interim charter to tackle the insurgency in the provinces of Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat.[213]

29 March: A gunfight occurred after a pickup truck tried to escape from a police checkpoint and its passengers began shooting at officers. The police fired back, killing two people. The two dead were suspected of being responsible for an attack in early March that killed four people.[214]

3 attacks on one day:

30 March: One police officer was killed and four or five others were injured in a drive-by shooting by militants in the Ra-ngae District of Narathiwat Province.[215][216]

30 March: The body of army ranger, Saifru Hasimae, was found in Yala Province. No motive for his killing has been established.[214]

30 March: Separately, five gunmen opened fire on a police station in Narathiwat Province, killing a policeman and wounding three others. Pol Col Surapong Chatsuth said the attack appeared to be retaliation for a gun battle on 29 March at a police checkpoint that resulted in the deaths of two gunmen.[214] A few days before that there were three attacks killing a soldier and a police officer.
