  • 16 JUNE 2015 - CHUAP, NARATHIWAT, THAILAND:  Thai Army Rangers and investigators display a cache of three M16 assault rifles Rangers recovered in a Muslim insurgent camp they captured last week. Thai Rangers, a paramilitary force of the Thai Army, discovered a Muslim insurgent camp in the village of Chuap, in Narathiwat province last week. Most of the insurgents in the camp escaped into the surrounding jungle, but soldiers captured two insurgents and recovered three M16 assault rifles. Two of the three rifles were stolen from the Thai Army in 2004. Investigators are still tracing the source of the third rifle. The Rangers took Thai media into the camp Tuesday. About 6,000 people have been killed in sectarian violence in Thailand's three southern provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala since a Muslim insurgency started in 2004. Attacks usually spike during religious holidays. Insurgents are fighting for more autonomy from the central government in Bangkok.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
