Buddhist monk killed in south Thai

A Buddhist monk was killed and another seriously injured when they were gunned down while collecting alms as more violence erupted in Thailand's restive south, police said on Friday.

The attack was the latest in a recent flare-up of bloody violence in the Muslim-majority region near the Malaysian border, where nearly 3,500 people have been killed in five years of unrest. reuters

Note: killing monks while collecting alms is not only absolutely disgusting but it would be considered crime against the humanity.
