Police say three people, including a husband and wife, have been killed and seven soldiers wounded in Thailand's restive south.
Police Lt. Col. Anusorn Janklab says suspected Muslim insurgents on motorcycles shot the couple, who were rubber tappers, before dawn Wednesday as they were on their way to work in Pattani province. In Yala province, an army sergeant who was an intelligence specialist was killed by two gunmen, who also wounded a Muslim soldier.
In Narathiwat province, six soldiers who were part of a motorcycle patrol guarding teachers suffered mild injuries from a homemade bomb detonated remotely by a cell phone.
More than 4,200 people have been killed in Thailand's three southernmost provinces since an Islamist separatist insurgency erupted in 2004.
