ADVERTISEMENT One of the attacks was a drive-by shooting of two paramilitary troops who were on a hunting trip Saturday when four suspected insurgents chased them and opened fire, said police Lt. Thanapong Puengsak. The shooting took place in the Bacho district of Narathiwat province. Both of the victims were rangers, who are generally local residents hired as armed auxiliaries to the regular military. One was shot in the head and back, and the other was shot three times in the chest and lower body, Thanapong said. It was the latest attack in a recent rash of bombings in Thailand's three southernmost provinces, where a Muslim insurgency flared in January 2004. Late Friday, a group of 22 villagers had gathered for a game of petanque _ similar to lawn bowling _ in the Sai Buri district of Pattani province. Two men on a motorcycle drove past and threw a grenade into the crowd that exploded seconds later, said district police Col. Wallop Jamnongasa. The attack left a 62-year-old former village chief dead and wounded 17 others, who were taken to hospitals. More than 3,700 people have been killed in Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala provinces despite a massive military presence. The three provinces are the only Muslim-majority areas in the Buddhist-dominated country. The militants target civil servants and others working with the government, including soldiers, police and informants. Attacks on civilians are thought to be intended to scare the Buddhist community into fleeing. The shadowy insurgents are generally believed to be fighting to carve out an independent Muslim state. The area used to be an Islamic sultanate until it was annexed by Thailand in the early 20th century. Muslims in the area have long complained of discrimination by the central government.
