BANGKOK, Nov. 9 (Xinhua)
-- The Thai Army told the Thai media on Saturday that seven suspected rebels
involved in a massacre killing had been arrested. They were arrested on Friday
night in the deep south and a covert operation was jointly conducted by the
Thai military and police.
Deputy Prime Minister
Gen Prawit Wongsuwan said last Tuesday's vicious assault, in which 15 village
defense volunteers were murdered in Yala Province, was the deadliest attack in
the years-long insurgency.
"We have netted
all together 7 suspects. One was quickly arrested following Tuesday's
attack," said Col Pramote Prom-in, spokesman of the Internal Security
Operations Command (Isoc)'s Region 4 Forward Command. "We netted another 6
on Friday night in Pattani and Yala Provinces."
Col Pramote said he
suspected that 30 to 40 people were involved in the attack, and it remained
unclear which separatist group is responsible for the deadly attack. No group
has stepped forward to claim responsibility for the attack yet.
Meanwhile, Thai Prime
Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who is also the defense minister, has reiterated
that he will not tolerate terrorism acts on the Thai soil. All those involved
and arrested will have to face the full force of the Thai law, said Prayut.
