Militants plan to bomb Thai resorts
Militants plan to attack Thai tourist resorts: report
Last Updated Thu, 23 Dec 2004 11:50:43 EST BANGKOK - Documents found in the house of a fugitive leader of Thailand's Islamic insurgency suggested extremists were plotting attacks next year at tourist resorts across the country, a senior Thai security official said. The separatist rebels also planned to turn three Muslim-dominated provinces in Thailand's south into a base for international terrorist groups, the official told the Associated Press Thursday. Gen. Kitti Rattanachaya, a senior security adviser to Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said the documents show that in 2005, the militants plan to attack "soft targets" such as the tropical beach resorts of Pattaya and Phuket. These destinations draw tourists from around the world. There have been repeated warnings of plans by militants to target tourists in Asia since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the Unites States. Islamic extremists with suspected links to al-Qaeda bombed a discotheque in a Bali resort in October 2002, killing almost 200 people. The victims were mostly Western tourists including two Canadians. The attack also caused havoc with Indonesia's tourism industry. * FROM NOV. 8, 200e: Increased security may not be enough to save tourism in Thailand Kitti said the seized documents indicated the separatists want to intensify their fight against the Buddhist central government next year. The plans indicated the insurgents want to broaden a conflict in the south that has killed almost 600 people this year, fuelling concerns their cause was gaining support among Islamic extremists outside the country. "The situation will be terrifying as the terrorists open war on all fronts to divert attention from the southern area," Kitti, a former army commander in the south, told the AP. Thai officials have said previously that the separatists have threatened to attack tourists sites, but have not said where the information came from. The documents were seized earlier this year from the house of Masae Useng, a former Islamic school teacher who the government accuses of masterminding a separatist plan for Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat provinces, which border Malaysia.

Prof Supat is one of them. Some thais who have done their graduate studies on returning home, thought that they have found some comradeship here are disillused and left instantly-- the Lana girl is another example. i think this is what the selfish farangs in this group want -- to themselves to the exclusion of the local thais so that they can regale "safely sebagai katak di bawah temperong" Of course, there are exception to the above observation. People like ajarn(s), daniel, fnurk, larbgai,vagabond, chabby,carlos, mort, roscoe,torben, lumier,jb, and many others, who have inculturated themselves into the locals, bleed for LOS. These are the true scters. Having said all these, may i wish you, "six-toes" and all those true scters, celebrating xmas tonight a holy xmas which is another 6 hours away in LOS. pax omnibus --------------- cheers pluto |
