A group of defence volunteers demonstrate how villagers can protect themselves from attacks by insurgents at an event in Narathiwat's Bacho district Monday. The function was organised to launch an improved security system called "Thung Yang Daeng model" named after a recent incident in this district in Pattani province, where six schools were torched by insurgents. Presiding over the event were Deputy PM Prawit Wongsuwan, who is also defence minister, and Deputy Defence Minister General Udomdej Sitabutr.
