One separatist militant was shot dead in a gunfight at Tuyong village in Pattani’s Mayaw district early Thursday morning, commander of the Pattani 25 Special Force Lt-Col Prathan Talabthong said. The dead militant was identified as Sabuding Deng, a suspect wanted under eight arrest warrants on charges of threatening national security.

Lt-Col Prathan said after receiving a tip off that suspected militants were hiding in the village from an uncover-agent, he led his force to surround the targeted village 4pm on Wednesday. The authorities found Isma-air Yana while walking with Mr Sabuding. Mr Isma-air was arrested but Sabuding fled to a nearby house.

The soldiers surrounded the house and asked the kamnan and village headman to talk to Sabuding, encouraging him surrender to the authorities. After about nine hours of discussion, the talks collapsed and Sabuding opened fire at the soldiers, who fired back.After the gunfight, Sabuding's body was found inside the house. Sgt Anucha Sapsin was shot in his left arm and was taken to hospital."
