13 Said Killed in Thailand Gunbattles 

BANGKOK, Thailand - Suspected Islamic militants clashed with police 
in several gunbattles in southern Thailand Wednesday, leaving at 
least 12 gunmen and one officer dead, officials said. 

The clashes erupted after militants launched simultaneous attacks on 
police bases and checkpoints in several districts of Yala and Pattani 
provinces, police Maj. Gen. Thani Thawisri told The Associated Press. 

Officials said the fighting was the heaviest so far this year in the 
region, which has been plagued by violence blamed on the militants. 

Thani said several groups of insurgents opened fire at police 
outposts around dawn, triggering gunbattles, the worst of which left 
eight militants dead in Banangstar district of Yala province. 

He said two more insurgents were killed in Yarang district of Yala 
and two in Nongik district of Pattani province. One policeman was 
killed and four injured in Kruesie district of Pattani, he said. 

Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat are the only Muslim majority provinces 
in predominantly Buddhist Thailand. Muslims there have long 
complained of discrimination in jobs and education.
