Thai marines killed at least 17 insurgents as they repelled an attack on a military base in the country’s south, the latest clash in an uprising that has stifled investment and left thousands of people dead.
More than 50 guerrillas dressed in military style uniforms raided the marine station in Narathiwat province early this morning, army spokesman Ditthaporn Sasasmit said by phone from Bangkok. No member of the security forces was injured, he said.
