Thai police officers inspect the body of a teacher who was shot dead by suspected separatist Muslim militants as he was travelling to work on a motorcycle in Thailand’s restive southern province of Narathiwat on September 7, 2010. Suspected Islamic militants have killed four people in Thailand’s restive south, police said on September 7, including a teacher whose death sparked calls for a region-wide closure of schools. The victim was the 134th teacher killed since 2004 in the violence-plagued region. Teachers working in state schools are frequently targeted because they are seen as a symbol of government authority in the south, where insurgents view the schools system as an effort by Bangkok to impose Buddhist culture.
