Restive

Muslim jihadis in Thailand are continuing their war against the government. The latest bombings and gunfire resulted in 15 dead:

Fifteen people were killed and four wounded when suspected Muslim insurgents launched a roadside bomb attack and assailants fired into a mosque Thursday in some of the worst recent violence in restive southern Thailand, officials said.

A bomb, hidden on a roadside, went off as government-hired paramilitary rangers drove by, killing 10 of them, said Thai Army spokesman Col. Akara Thiprote. (AP)

UPDATE:
The Thai military has managed to arrest a number of people in connection with this attack.

Police have arrested six Muslim teenagers believed to have been involved in the multiple bombings in Hat Yai on Sunday night. The arrests did little to alleviate violence elsewhere in the troubled region. In Yala and Narathiwat provinces yesterday, 11 rangers, soldiers or police were killed in attacks by militants. The death toll included eight soldiers killed in a bomb blast in Bannang Sata district of Yala last night.

The violence in Thailand gets nowhere near as much coverage as the ongoing problems in Iraq, even though the violence is due to Islamists engaging in jihad.

UPDATE:
Regarding the attack on the mosque, it would appear that it was Islamists looking to blame the Thai government and playing psy-ops to convince more Muslims to join the insurgency against the Thai government.
