Narathiwat, Thailand (AHN) - Suspected Muslim rebels shot dead a policeman and two other people in the troubled Narathiwat district of Thailand. It is one of the three violence-torn provinces in Thailand, bordering Malaysia.

Authorities said a 51-year-old Muslim police officer was killed in a drive-by shooting. The shooters were believed to be members of the Islamic rebels in the Muslim-majority southern Thailand.

The insurgents also killed a 40-year-old Muslim in a separate drive-by shooting late Wednesday.

In the neighboring Yala province, a 40-year-old Buddhist rubber tapper was shot dead at his home, police said.

The rebels also torched two schools to the ground in Pattani province, and damaged two clinics and a local government office building.

Over 2,200 people have been killed and thousands wounded in the troubled region since the separatist launched their insurgency in January 2004.

The violence has escalated despite peace-building measures by the military-installed government, which came to power following a coup in September 2006.
