Calls for an official listing of the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) as a terrorist group came after last week's truck bombing of the Big C Supercentre in Pattani town. (Photos FB/BIG-C-Pattani)Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha rejected suggestions on Tuesday that the government might consider declaring Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) a terrorist group to enlist international support to help combat violence. Gen Prayut said the international community might not fully understand the problem and engaging them might complicate the issue. The prime minister was responding to suggestions the government might ask the United Nations to declare the BRN a terrorist group to step up pressure on insurgent groups. According to an initial investigation, the victim was talking to a group of people before a gunshot was heard.
