Al Qaeda threat on website not real: Thai government Bangkok | November 30, 2005 5:35:48 PM IST
The warnings of terror attacks in Thailand posted on a web site claiming to belong to al-Qaeda, should not be taken seriously, the Thai government said today.
Thai Interior Minister Kongsak Wanthana said the Internet site 'Al-Qaeda Southeast Asia' was more likely to be the work of insurgents in south Thailand.
More than 1,000 people have been killed since early 2004 in separatist violence rocking Thailand’s Muslim-majority southern border provinces of Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani.
Denying that the separatist violence in south Thailand had international links, the minister said Thailand was never an international terrorist target.
The web site has warned of attacks against Thailand and some other Southeast Asian nations.
