Narathiwat outpost raided as part of new insurgent strategy
Play
Two defence volunteers were killed and four assault rifles stolen in an attack on a security outpost in Narathiwat Tuesday night.
It is believed that insurgents have been ordered to target armed security officials and seize their weapons.
The two victims, who had stayed behind after two of their companions had gone for nightly prayers, were attacked by four men on two motorcycles who opened fire at them, killing one immediately and fatally wounding another. The second victim was pronounced dead later in hospital.
The attackers then snatched four assault rifles and fled, in what is believed to be a new strategy among insurgent groups.
