Ten killed in Thai mosque attack

At least 10 people have been shot dead by suspected militants in a mosque in southern Thailand, police say.
Five gunmen carrying assault rifles entered the mosque during evening prayers in the Cho-ai-rong district of troubled Narathiwat province.
The local imam was among the dead, the AFP news agency quoted a police official as saying.
More than 3,700 people have died during a five-year insurgency in southern Thailand's mainly Muslim provinces.
"They opened fire indiscriminately at about 50 worshippers inside the mosque," a police official said to AFP on condition of anonymity.
He said up to five gunmen entered the mosque through the back door, although an army spokesman was quoted as saying there were two attackers who entered the building from separate entrances.
It is not yet clear who carried out these attacks.
Previous attacks in the region, which borders Malaysia, have been blamed on Muslim insurgents.
But they tend to target people perceived to be collaborating with the Bangkok government, or to try to force Buddhist residents from the area and establish an Islamic state.
Thailand annexed the three southern provinces - Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani - in 1902, but the vast majority of people there are Muslim and speak a Malay dialect, in contrast to the Buddhist Thai speakers in the rest of the country.
