School Owner Held After Al Qaeda Videos Seized
The owner of a Muslim religious school and three of his students were being held for questioning about possible links with Al Qaeda after soldiers seized military training videos at their school, an army spokesman said.
The school in Thailand’s southern Pattani province was raided last week after the military learned that it had been used for military training.
“They are being questioned about how they acquired the Al Qaeda videos and we believe whoever has such videos must have bad intentions,” Col. Arkhom Pongprom said.
