The Jihad continues in Thailand...

The beheading of the day....

Extremists in the South have beheaded a 72-year-old Buddhist rice miller in at least the 24th such atrocity since they escalated their insurgency just over three years ago.

Police said the victim apparently was killed in retaliation for a bomb attack on a village tea shop owned by Muslims.

The man's head was not found and police said they found severe cuts on his fingers, hands and shoulder at his village mill in Pattani province.

"This is revenge for what happened last night in Nakohn Nua," a message left at the mill said in reference to the village where a bomb exploded that injured no one.
