Report from Bangkok Post dated Thursday 10 August 2006 :-
PM scoffs at Pulo's threat to hit cities
=============================
Caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra yesterday poured scorn on a threat by the Pattani United Liberation Organisation (Pulo) to attack Bangkok and Phuket, saying it was just propaganda. Mr Thaksin downplayed rumours that the insurgent group based in the South was ready to switch its targets from the southern region to major cities such as Bangkok and Phuket.
The threat was brought to light following a recent interview of a senior member of Pulo with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
But Mr Thaksin said the group had no capability to carry out such attacks.
National police chief Gen Kowit Wattana and Supreme Commander Gen Ruengroj Mahasaranont shared the prime minister's view, saying the rumours would prove groundless.
Gen Ruengroj urged the public to have faith in the security forces

Report from THe Nation dated Thursday 10 August 2006 :-
Pulo: Violence could reach capital, Phuket - Group warns of attacks outside deep South if govt continues to use 'oppressive tactics'
=============================================
Insurgent violence in the deep South could spread out of the Malay-speaking region to Phuket and Bangkok if the central authorities continue with their oppressive tactics against the local community, a senior member of the Pattani United Liberation Organisation (Pulo) said yesterday.
Speaking to The Nation from an undisclosed location in Sweden, Pulo's foreign affairs chief Kasturi Mahkuta maintained that it was not entirely out of the question that any of the "Malay liberation groups" could be thinking about hitting targets outside the region.
Ultimately, the course of action taken would depend entirely on the actions of the government, Kasturi said.
Kasturi said Pulo has a significant number of officials and armed troops in southern Thailand but declined to go into detail or take credit for any of the attacks in the region.
"This is something we won't confirm or deny. I can't go into specifics," said Kasturi, when asked which major attacks or incidents could be attributed to Pulo.
In a surprising willingness to compromise, Kasturi said the Pulo leadership is concerned with the violence in the region and the high number of casualties and suggested that the violence appeared to be getting out of hand.
But there is also the tendency to unfairly blame all the attacks on the "Malay liberation groups", including Pulo, he added.
He also stated that Pulo is willing to enter into dialogue with the government to discuss "solutions other than a total breakaway".
Reports about possible attacks on major cities surfaced on Monday after a BBC news report quoted an unidentified Pulo official on the ground saying cities like Bangkok and Phuket could come under attack unless the government changed its course.
Kasturi said neither he nor other Pulo officials had authorised the BBC interview but added the organisation does not prevent its people from speaking to the press.

"But Mr Thaksin said the group had no capability to carry out (Bangkok or Phuket) attacks. "
Gee - we should all be relieved. No capability...? So...they don't have at least one crazy? They don't have at least one car? They don't have at least a few kilos of plastique?
Gee Mr. T, thanks for putting our minds at ease with your incredible anaytic skills.

While I would agree with Thaksin in that respect, the guy unfortunately has proven to be such a total cretin when it comes to public statements that such a statement does not put the public at ease, or diffuse such a threat.

Really! How stupid is that opinion?!?
Hell, not even two weeks ago they pulled off 70 simultanous bombings on a single night only to bring their total of attacks up to 118 the following day! Does that indicate they have at least the capability? I should hope so!
Whether you believe the BBC, who say PULO is one of the main groups behind the insurgency, or the counter terrorism blogger who says PULO is all but defunct, you cannot deny the fact that some organization has just shown an unprecedented capability to strike.
The jury may still be out on who that organisation is, but who ever the groups are their capability to coordinate certainly ought to be respected by Thaksin.
On a lighter note, check out this video clip of the Prime Muppet Thaksin lip-syncing

That maybe so, but have any of those 118 attacks been outside their southern region?

Not yet. But it may be only a matter of time.... They seem to have plenty of men left at their disposal.
