Part of the problem is that the provinces border Muslim Malaysia, where the insurgents have been receiving sanctuary and arms.
Today, the victims of jihad were a 65-year-old man, Prom Suwanro, who was killed yesterday evening as he was returning home by motorcycle in Narathiwat. There was also a murder in the neighbouring province of Yala: the victim was a 23-year-old policeman who was gunned down. Also in Yala, a bomb , injuring three escort soldiers and a group of teachers.
One of the leaders of this jihad has been identified as 50-year-old Shafie Manso, an imam and teacher in a Madrassah and the leader of the largest separatist armed group in the south, the National Revolutionary Front-Coordinate, or BRN-C.
The refuge given to the Islamic terrorists by Malaysia has sparked a major diplomatic crisis between Thailand and it's southern neighbor.
Look for this to heat up further.
