Yala police commissioner condemns "random shootings"
A provincial police commissioner in Yala on Monday condemned attacks by insurgents on civilians in the province, which have led to several deaths and injured many others including a pregnant woman.
Pol Maj Gen Peera Boonlieng said there were about 10 attacks on civilians during the weekend, resulting in three people being killed and about eight suffering injury.
“The injured included a three-month-pregnant woman who was riding on a motorcycle in Bannang Sata district. She was shot from behind,” Peera said.
“I want to condemn the attackers and the public should do the same as she and the other parties were innocent and had nothing to do with the insurgents’ ideological fighting. They should fight enemies not spectators; they are innocent people, particularly the women,” he said.
He considers the insurgents are changing tactics, as it is rare that they ride around on motorcycles and shoot randomly.
