Suspected insurgents kill 2 in restive Thai south

PATTANI, Thailand (AP) — Suspected Muslim insurgents shot and killed two Buddhist civilians in separate drive-by attacks in Thailand's insurgency-plagued south, police said Wednesday.

More than 3,700 people, both Muslims and Buddhists, have been killed in Thailand's three southernmost provinces since an insurgency flared in January 2004. The provinces — Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala — are the only Muslim-majority areas in the Buddhist-dominated country. Muslims there have long complained of discrimination by the central government.
