The data of the violence targets indicate that the public or innocent people continue to be on the priority list of the violent incidents. This has been the pattern of the continued violence recurring in the southern border provinces since 2004. As a political fight for the southern border province identity attacking the state or its officials is a significantly symbolic resistance to the Thai state authority. But the actual targets are ordinary Buddhist and Muslim people instead. This could be concluded that the violent act aimed at terrifying both the Buddhist and Muslim groups. Although recently the Buddhist people have been increasingly threatened Muslim people are also in great danger.
