BANGKOK: Militants shot dead four soldiers and wounded two others early on Saturday in Thailand's volatile south, an army spokesman said, as a surge in violence since the start of Ramzan continued. The group of six soldiers were attacked as they patrolled a road in the Mayo district of Pattani province."About 20 armed militants on three pick up trucks opened fire at a team of soldiers once they get close to them," Colonel Pramote Prom-in, southern army spokesman, said.
