Thai Military Raids Madrassa, Capturing Bombmakers

It's that restive South Thailand in the news again.
Seven suspected Muslim insurgents arrested in a raid at an Islamic school were identified Tuesday by the Thai army as some of the rebels' top bomb-making specialists in the violence-wracked south.

Police and soldiers raided a private Islamic school in Narathiwat province's Muang district on Sunday night, where they arrested the seven suspects, who were accused of assembling and planting bombs, said army spokesman Col. Akara Thiprote said.

They were suspected of involvement in some of the worst recent violence in the region, including a roadside bombing that killed 11 paramilitary troops on May 31, said Akara.
An Islamist school involved in terrorism? If this happened in the UK under Brown's new policy, they would have to scrub the entire story.

They'd have to say that a religious institution of undetermined origin was raided and a number of persons were taken into custody. No mention of religion. No mention of a madrassa. Nothing.

That's the direction the UK is headed under this asinine policy.
