Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
Terrorists attempted to gain access to a Thailand military base yesterday and ended up finding themselves in the crossfire of an ambush.
Sixteen of the terrorists were killed in the attempted assault.
Local residents had tipped off the military that the Islamic militants were planning an assault on the military base giving the troops time to prepare. The majority of Thailand residents are Buddhists and do not view the Muslim separatists in the northern part of the country in a favorable light.
A spokesman for the Internal Security Operations Command told Reuters they estimated the terrorist assault team at 60 members. They were wearing military uniforms when they launched the lunchtime attack. It was the deadliest attack in the nation in years.
Five soldiers were killed Sunday in a bomb attack in a neighboring province leading government officials to consider a curfew.
“If we impose a curfew then militants will find it more difficult to enter the area,” Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung said.
