Sept. 27, 2009 -- PATTANI, THAILAND: A Muslim girl holds the Thai flag before classes at the Gahong School in Pattani, Thailand, Sept 27. Schools and school teachers have been frequent targets of Muslim insurgents in southern Thailand and the army now provides security at many government schools. Thailand's three southern most provinces; Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat are often called "restive" and a decades long Muslim insurgency has gained traction recently. Nearly 4,000 people have been killed since 2004. The three southern provinces are under emergency control and there are more than 60,000 Thai military, police and paramilitary militia forces trying to keep the peace battling insurgents who favor car bombs and assassination.
