NARATHIWAT - An elderly Buddhist man was shot dead and his body set on fire Sunday in Thailand's restive south, police said, days after a similar incident provoked angry protests.

The 70-year-old man was attacked by suspected Islamic militants as he drove his motorbike home from a market in Narathiwat, one of three Muslim-majority southern provinces beset by a separatist insurgency.

The attackers shot the man three times in the head and torso, before setting his body on fire. Passers-by were able to rescue the corpse before it was badly burned, a local police officer said.

A 26-year-old Buddhist woman was shot and burned beyond recognition in Yala province on Wednesday while Thailand's junta leader was in the region.

More than 2,000 people have been killed in the provinces of Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani since the latest separatist insurgency broke out in January 2004.
