Suspected separatist Muslim fighters have killed five police officers and later stole their weapons in an attack in south of Thailand, police say.
About five to six fighters followed a pickup truck carrying the undercover policemen and attacked them on a road in Thung Yangdaeng district in Pattani province, Police Colonel Kowit Rattanachote said on Wednesday.
He said the police pulled over their car and attempted to take cover after the armed men started firing into their vehicle.
