Paradorn to endorse pact with BRN on talks

Prayuth urges caution in dealing with rebels

National Security Council (NSC) secretary-general Paradorn Pattanatabut and Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) liaison office chief Hassan Taib have agreed to endorse a peace dialogue process, after their historic pact signed last week.

A security source said Lt Gen Paradorn flew to Malaysia Tuesday to meet Mr Hassan. Both sides agreed to sign an accord endorsing Malaysia-brokered peace talks on the far South on March 28.

The move comes after the NSC and Mr Hassan agreed in Kuala Lumpur last week to open peace talks between the government and the BRN. The BRN is the first group to agree to such talks.

41 attacks in seven districts, "Most of the attacks were minor disruptions involving burning car tyres". This isn't an attack. What it is, is very poor journalism. So the suspected militants attacked tyres? Come on Mr. Editor of BP, surely this can be reported correctly??

For the moment the military does not seem to have been provoked by the recent insurgent/terrorist (defining dependent on POV) acts.

This IMO is a good sign. Showing determination to reach dialogue is praiseworthy (if that is what it is)

In any case there is an agreement to talk, not a cease fire of sorts.
