Thai Islamists Behead Again

Four Muslims were killed -- and one of them beheaded -- and two soldiers were wounded seriously in two attacks in Thailand's rebellious Muslim-majority far south, police said on Tuesday.

Three village security guards and a village headman were ambushed and shot dead in Yala, one of the three southern provinces caught up in nearly four years of terrorist separatist insurgency in which more than 2,100 people have been killed. "Their bodies were left near a pick-up truck and the village headman was beheaded, with his head left on the road," one said. A fifth man was shot in the arm but escaped, they said.
The Islamists have no problem going after other Muslims either. Anyone who isn't nearly as Islamist as they are are considered fair game. Beheading is an all too common tactic to scare the locals into submission.
