Thailand rejects US military offer to help end south unrest

The United States, a close ally of Thailand, has offered to help the kingdom rein in the unrest, which has killed about 2100 people since January 2004.
"The Army Commander General Sonthi declared : "Thailand appreciates the offer but we regard the situation in the southern region as an internal affair. But we would appreciate it if the United States could provide assistance to us in the area of information to track foreign financial contributions to the insurgents".
