At least 6 Dead in 34 coordinated attacks by muslim extremists in southern Thailand.

At least six people have died in a wave of co-ordinated attacks in southern Thailand, which officials blamed on suspected Muslim militants.
The attackers took dozens of weapons from the homes of village chiefs and defence volunteers in the provinces of Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani.

Among the dead were two village chiefs and two militants, officials said.

Nearly 1,000 people have been killed in the south since 2004, in violence blamed on a separatist insurgency.
