A train travelling in Yala to the border of Thailand and Malaysia was shot at injuring 3 people. This is not the first time it has happened. Over the last 3 years over 2000 people have been killed in this area. Mostly the attacks are Muslims against Buddhists. Many Buddhists have been shot and even burned alive. Also a Muslim village chief was shot dead in front of his house. Now Thailand will no longer run trains to the border. People now will have to get off the train at a nearby city and take a bus to Malaysia. See the story here.
