A quote:

"BANGKOK -- Thailand's military government justified its coup last year in part by promising to quell the country's violent Muslim insurgency. For the past three and a half years, the southern provinces of Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani have seen daily battles, as Islamist militants have begun their secessionist campaign. With the coup being led by a Muslim army chief, a "two-pronged" strategy of wooing moderate Muslims while improving the capacity of security forces, the government of Prime Minister Surayud Chultanont looked like it had a chance to succeed."
