Thai southern insurgents set fire to two schools, a local government office and a house in Thailand's southern border province of Pattani early Sunday morning.

Police said insurgents set fire to Ban Seh Moh School in Tabing of Sai Buri district and the Laharn Mittraparp Sai Buri School in Tambon Laharn of the same district before dawn Sunday.

Meanwhile, four insurgents on two motorcycles fired at the Administrative Organization's office in Tabing district, damaging the door and windows.

Insurgents also set fire on the house of Arong Jehawae, 40, in Thung Yangdaeng district, police's said.

Noboby was injured or killed in these arson attacks.

However, in a separate incident early Sunday morning, a man was killed and his father injured allegedly by insurgents in Pattani.

Police said the father, Dolor Saha, 48, and the son, Arduanan Saha, 28, were tapping their rubber trees in Tambon Ban Dan of Pattani's Sai Buri district when they were shot by driving-by attackers.

Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat are the three southern border provinces plagued with violence related to an ongoing insurgency which has claimed more than 1,700 lives since it resumed in early 2004. The violence was blamed on a complex web of Islamic separatists, local corruption and organized crime.
