Buddhist beheaded in Thailand
Tuesday November 09, 2004 14:43 - (SA)

BANGKOK - A 60-year-old Buddhist has been beheaded in the troubled southern 
Thailand in revenge for
the deaths of 87 Muslim protesters two weeks ago, most of them in army custody, 
police said.

The man, identified only as Kaew, was killed at 1:00 am (1800 GMT) at his home 
in the southern
province of Narathiwat, police said.

His attackers left notes on his body saying he was killed in revenge for the 
deaths last month of 87
Muslim protesters in Narathiwat's Tak Bai area, 78 of whom suffocated or were 
crushed to death after
being piled onto army trucks.

"He was beheaded at his house. There were four leaflets left on his body 
saying: 'It is less than
what you did to innocent people at Tak Bai'," a police statement said.

"The police are investigating and believe the attackers want to create more 
unrest in the south," it
said.

Kaew, a plantation worker originally from the country's northeast, was the 
latest victim from a
series of reprisal attacks against "soft" Buddhist targets since the tragedy at 
Tak Bai.

A Buddhist village leader was beheaded last week in Narathiwat. His attackers 
left behind a
hand-written leaflet also saying the killing was in revenge for Tak Bai.

A rubber tapper in his 60s was beheaded in May in Narathiwat but no note was 
left with the body.

Analysts have warned that militants in southern Thailand, where more than 540 
people have died this
year in an insurgency that flared in January, could resort to tactics similar 
to those used in Iraq,
including kidnappings and beheadings.

In other violence, a man and his wife, both Buddhist factory workers, were shot 
dead as they
travelled to work on Tuesday in the neighbouring province of Yala.

They were killed by two men riding a motorcycle, a common tactic used by 
militants in the region.

Only 4% of the population in mainly Buddhist Thailand are Muslims but they are 
in a majority in four
southern provinces where separatists, religious extremists and the disaffected 
are battling the
authorities.

"Innocent people are in danger. Four to five people a day are shot now from one 
or two before,"
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra told reporters on Tuesday.

Thaksin, under pressure at home and abroad over the Tak Bai deaths, has set up 
an independent
inquiry into the deaths.

The head of the army in the south, Lieutenant General Pisarn Wattanawongkiri, 
told the inquiry team
on Tuesday he had not been present when the Muslim men were piled onto the 
tracks, inquiry chairman
Pichet Sunthornpipit told reporters.

The general also said that newspaper pictures showing men bound and lying on 
top of each other on
the back of a truck were "not true because they were told to sit not lie down".

Relatives said Tuesday that 40 people remained missing after the tragedy, a 
claim denied by the army
and government.

They said the missing men could have left the area and passed into neighbouring 
Malaysia without
telling their families, or some may be among the 22 victims of Tak Bai who were 
buried before they
could be identified.

A group representing Muslims in Thailand said Tuesday it was setting up its own 
inquiry.

"We found that some of our information did not match the information from the 
government. We need to
find the truth," said Paisarn Promyong, deputy secretary of the Islamic 
Committee of Thailand.
