Security forces killed six suspected Muslim rebels in southern Thailand on Monday, where all rail services have been halted after a brutal weekend attack on a train, police said. About 200 police and soldiers raided a jungle hideout used by Muslim separatists in Yala, one of the four southernmost provinces where more than 3,000 people have been killed in a four-year insurgency, police said. "It's a major victory as we have eliminated some snipers," Police Colonel Sompien Ekpanya told Reuters at the scene of the fighting.
