YALA: Suspected Islamic insurgents in Thailand's troubled south shot and killed three Buddhist men, setting the body of one of the victims on fire, police said Thursday.

In the capital town of Pattani province, gunmen shot dead a Buddhist security guard working at an office for military veterans as he rode his motorcycle to a market late Wednesday, police said.

The attackers then torched the 42-year-old's body and his motorcycle in the middle of the road in front of terrified onlookers, they said. Gunmen shot dead a deputy village chief on the same day, also in Pattani province, police said.

Meanwhile the deputy chief of another village in Songkhla province was shot dead as he sat in his car on Wednesday.
