An Al Qaeda terror training video has been seized during a police raid on an Islamic school in southern Thailand.
Almost 700 people have been killed in the region during a 16-month-long insurgency blamed on Muslim separatists.
Acting on a tip-off, the security forces staged the raid on several Islamic boarding schools in southern Thailand's Pattani province believed to be insurgent training grounds.
At one, they confiscated electric wire, PVC pipes, a personal computer along with a video cassette on Al Qaeda's terrorist training.
Reports say police also recovered several notebooks containing records of the movement of security officials and maps of several outposts that may have been the target of planned attacks.
Authorities say the area near the school was being used as a shooting range.
Thai officials meanwhile are monitoring a recent surge in the number of Cambodian Muslims crossing into the south.
They say more than 100 Muslims a day are passing through border checkpoints, more than 10 times the usual number of arrivals.
Thanks to NW_AZ for this news alert she forwarded.
Muslims: doing the terrorizing others don't want to do.
What a shame that they were so insensitive as to seize the video and other materials. Didn't they get the memo about Islam being a religion of peace? No one has the right to stop members of a religion from engaging in prescribed religious practices (slitting throats, beheading, raping women and young boys, blowing up infidels). Please stop bothering members of the religion of peace.
Not!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, wow! A video tape, a pvc pipe, and a bit of wire! Oh, my! How about rounding up the instructors and students and the financially well off alumni, huh?
I suppose the logical question would be, why are they being allowed to pass through?
Does this have any connection to the threats on the Australian Embassies?
OK... (LOL) of course it does they are all terrorists.
