I used to see quite a few Usama bin Laden t-shirts when I lived there, but almost all of the financing and weapons for this particular stoush, I have it by a particularly well-connected authority, are coming directly from the Sultanate of Kelantan, with support from Kedah and Perak in peninsular Malaysia.

I brought a few of the Bin Landen tee shirts right after 9/11. Never wore them, but figured what the hell.
BANGKOK: -- THAI BUDDHISTS living in the far South including women and children should beware of possible insurgent violence targeting them, Narathiwat police chief Pol Maj-General Phatthanawut Angkhanawan warned yesterday.
Insurgents have resorted to harming so-called "soft targets" reportedly in revenge for the recent fatal shooting of three young sons of a former insurgent who cooperated with state authorities, he said.
"The case has not been solved, so within the next one or two months Thai Buddhists, including women and children, should exercise extra caution, especially during their travels," he said.

Why do they go after "soft targets" Only?
Seems if ur trying to make a statement hit them harder. That will do one of two things.
1. bring the full wrath of the government down on them, ( they will be forced too)
2. cause them to pull out ( which we know wont happen
This constant 1-3 killings /day accomplishes nothing and just alienates the local population and desensitizes their cause.

Revenge killings torpedo chances for peace in South
Insurgents say pro-government death squads signal lack of unified position among Thai security agencies and policymakers
BANGKOK: -- A two-man paramilitary Ranger team escorting an elderly Buddhist monk travelling in a beat-up saloon car was no match for six assailants on three motorbikes with automatic weapons.
Exiled rebel sources maintained that the insurgents were going after "legitimate" targets, thus the decision to spare the 70-year-old monk who was sitting in the front of the bullet-ridden vehicle. The incident took place Pattani's Sai Buri district in the morning of January 24.
Ten days later in Narathiwat's Bacho district, gunmen killed three brothers aged three, five and nine, in an attempt to liquidate an entire family who had just returned from evening prayers at the village mosque. The father took a bullet to his leg but kept running, and the mother, who was four-months pregnant, was also hit. The parents survived.
At first, Thai authorities moved quickly to dismiss any suggestion that the assailants were officials or a pro-government death squad. Two weeks after the deadly shooting of the three boys, officials are still repeating the same mantra - that insurgents killed the three boys as part of an escalating campaign of violence now targeting innocent civilians, like the policeman's wife, 28, who was shot dead then set on fire in front of a terrified crowd at an open market in Pattani's Tambon Ratapanyang on February 9.
