Police said the arson occurred about 1.45am. A group of 15-20 armed men in black went into the school, tied up a temporary employee and set fire to the two-storey school building before fleeing.

Firefighters rushed to the scene and managed to put out the fire shortly afterwards.

When is the Government going to do something about these Muslim radicals.
I feel for the Teachers and Students who are trying to teach and get an education, so they can live a better life.

Well thank goodness the teachers were smart enough not to listen to the so-called “security forces” advise to sleep at the schools. Seriously though, will there ever be a point when the government has a clue or acts with results? Talk about losing face!

There are tens of thousands of police man available to avoid a demonstration in Bangkok, but nobody is available to protect schools in the south?
