The three men arrested for involvement in Sunday night's southern
terror offensive say they took drugs and carried good-luck amulets to
boost their courage.
The attackers admitted they had received training from the Runda
Kumpulan Kecil (RKK), a shadowy group which has ties to extremists in
Indonesia.
Lt Gen Viroj Buajaroon, the Fourth Army (southern region) commander,
said the three arrested men carried amulets and charms on their
bodies.
They told army officers they took narcotics - apparently marijuana -
and cough syrup before the attacks to bolster their courage.
Similar reports from young recruits surfaced after a mass suicide
attack on army and police bases by southern extremists in 2004. That
series of attacks ended in a massacre of the last 32 survivors at the
historic Krue Se mosque.
Lt Gen Viroj said the three arrested men confessed they were involved
in the Sunday night attacks which killed eight and wounded more than
60 people, at least four seriously.
He did not provide details but said they were in their 20s, had
blaimed their recruitment and the Sunday violence to an Islamic
militant group, and gave information about others involved.
Despite the arrests and increased security, suspected insurgents
carried out more attacks Tuesday, including at least two bombings, and
a third, unsuccessful attempt to bomb a Yala 7-Eleven convenience
store. No casualties were reported.
The attacks occurred as thousands were celebrating Lunar New Year, and
an army spokesman said the insurgents were trying to frighten ethnic
Chinese who celebrate the holiday into fleeing the predominantly
Muslim region.
Three people of Chinese descent were shot and killed that same night.
Ethnic Chinese in southern Thailand are mostly Buddhists and Taoists.
Sunday's attacks took place simultaneously in all four southern
provinces - Yala, Narathiwat, Pattani and Songkhla.
There were 29 bombings within 45 minutes. The bombs weighed 6.5kg (11
pounds) each, and the targets included karaoke lounges, hotels,
schools, gasoline stations and power grids.
*********************************************
They catch 3 stoned half wits
29 bombs in 4 provinces simultaneously, plus shootings, and many
other bombs defused, how many men would be required to carry out these
attacks out 40, 50? possibly more. There are 14000 "security"
personnel on duty in the South, what are they doing?
