The 300
Nattapat Khongkhoun was a bank clerk before her father was killed by jihadis.
A golden Buddha amulet is Nattapat Khongkhoun's spiritual armour against separatist militants who killed her father and continue to terrorise residents in this southern Thai province. She is one of the 300 female army rangers tasked with quelling an insurgency in the kingdom's Muslim-majority south which has left more than 3,000 people dead since early 2004.
"Separatist militants", indeed. No doubt Code Pink can blame the violence on Buddhist fundamentalism. The above AFP link has photos: This is real feminism in action.
