WORLD BRIEFING / THAILAND
Gunmen opened fire on a mosque in southern Thailand during evening prayers, killing at least 10 people and wounding 19 others in the violence-plagued region, police said.
The attack was one of the most deadly single incidents since an Islamic separatist insurgency was launched in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces in early 2004. More than 3,400 people have been killed in the violence.
Five or six men shot automatic rifles into the mosque in Narathiwat province’s Joh-I-Rong district, said police Lt. Col. Somjai Singkliang.
