11 Sept 18:03 Key points summarised by AI

A female Muslim teacher, Fatimo, was tragically shot dead in her car in front of a school in Yarang district, Pattani; her police officer husband was injured, but their two-month-old baby miraculously escaped unharmed.
Islamic religious leaders, local residents, Senator Angkhana Neelapaijit, and the National Human Rights Commission have broadly condemned the violence, particularly against women and children uninvolved in the Deep South conflict.
Four insurgents, disguised in hijabs, carried out the daylight shooting as students were leaving school, deeply shocking the community, especially as it occurred just days before the Hari Raya Haji celebration.
Security forces are actively reviewing CCTV footage from the scene and along the escape route to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
