Nine killed in Thai Muslim south

Last saturday in Yala south Thailand, more than nine people including three children were killed in a bomb attack and shootings by suspected rebels in Thailand's restive Muslim majority south, police officer said Saturday.
About one thousand muslim women and children blocked a highway for a third consecutive day to protest and demand release of suspected militants.
The military-backed Government, which came to power after a September coup, has made peace building efforts in a bid to rein in the unrest, but violence has escalated in the last six months.
