Eight armed men, wearing military-style clothing, abducted a soldier from his home in Narathiwat's Reu Soh district, the soldier's wife told police Tuesday.
She said her husband had taken part in a base-protection operation on February 13, in which 16 suspected insurgents were ambushed and killed.
Dareesoh Sorpee, 22, accompanied by her husband’s parents, told Reu Soh police that Private Maela Tohlu, 24, who had served at the army base in Ba Cho district that was raided by the insurgents on February 13, was visiting his home on vacation.
On Monday night, when Dareesoh went out to buy food, leaving Maela and her younger brother Yakariya, 20 at home, eight men on a pickup truck raided the house and abducted Maela at gunpoint, but left her brother unharmed.
