Six more people have been shot dead as violence surged this week in Thailand's Muslim-majority south, police said yesterday.

The latest attacks brought to 13 the number of killings since Sunday, and came despite signs that Thailand's new military-backed government may seek a peaceful solution to the two-year insurgency that has killed more than 1,500.

One policeman was shot dead Tuesday by suspected Islamic militants who opened fire at police officers guarding a bank in Yala, one of three restive southern provinces bordering Malaysia.
