PM calls for school canteen killing probe

Isoc defends tactics as police name 4 suspects

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has ordered a probe into the brazen shooting of a Muslim teacher in the deep South, as security authorities defended their approach to guarding schools.

The lunchtime shooting of Chonlathee Charoenchol, 51, a teacher at Ban Tanyong School in Narathiwat's Bacho district, on Wednesday shocked the government and security authorities for its cold-blooded nature.

As Democrats rounded on the government for "lacking sincerity" in its attempts to quell the southern violence, the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc) said the school where the teacher was shot was not regarded as a risk spot for insurgent attacks.

It's rather clear, among others, insurgents in the deep-south are targeting teachers and it doesn't matter to them if their names are made public, or even posted on bulletin boards. Disc 4, is correct. The only way to deal with an insurgency is to take drastic, positive action. Highly trained special operations soldiers (special forces) can stop the insurgency and the killing of innocent civilians. Doing nothing constructive to put-down the insurgency, only adds fuel to the fire. Counting on a nation's police-force to stop the insurgency is simply wishful-thinking.

Instead of ordering a probe Yingluck should be demanding the resignation of Chalerm for his inaction in addressing the problems in the South.

The authority should not made the name of the suspects public, until they have them either in custody or dead. Now it will be even harder to find them.
