Four shot dead in Thai south

Gunmen have shot and killed four people, including an elderly school bus driver, in separate attacks across the violence-plagued Thai south, police said yesterday.

A Muslim rubber tapper, 34, was gunned down during an ambush inside the plantation where he worked in Narathiwat early yesterday, one of three southern provinces near the Malaysian border afflicted by a long-running insurgency.

Two other attacks on Muslims in different parts of the province on Tuesday, both drive-by shootings, killed a 28-year-old man returning from evening market and a 33-year-old woman who was travelling on a motorbike with her husband.

Also on Tuesday in neighbouring Pattani province, a 68-year-old Buddhist man, who drives a school bus and owns a local shop, was shot dead while on a morning bicycle ride.
