A Thai policeman was killed and another wounded in separate shootings yesterday in the country's Muslim south where troops were on high alert for possible militant attacks on the first day of a new school year.

The Muslim policeman died in hospital hours after he was shot in the head as he rode his motorcycle to work in Pattani province, police said.

In a separate incident, gunmen shot a former drug-busting Muslim policeman in Narathiwat province as he walked to a tea shop.

"He was shot three times in his cheek, chest and torso and is being treated," a police colonel said.
