Deputy national police chief Pol General Suchat Theerasawat on Monday morning inspected the scene where a group of suspected insurgents had launched a late-night attack on a joint police-military checkpoint in Yala’s Krong Pinang district, resulting in 12 policemen suffering injuries.

JOINT security forces yesterday raided 13 locations in two districts of Yala and arrested nine people including one of the most wanted insurgent leaders, believed responsible for a van attack that killed eight people in 2007.
