Muslim insurgency simmers in southern Thailand

After political protests recently paralyzed Bangkoks airports, Thailand continues to face political upheaval. Violence has also simmered in the south, where a Muslim insurgency has grown.

Muslims make up less than 5 percent of Thailands 63 million people and most live in the southernmost provinces. Ethnic and religious divisions have generated tension in this region, which was formerly part of Malaysia.

In 2004, Bangkok declared martial law in the south after violence erupted. Continued conflict — from bombings to shootings and beheadings — has since claimed more than 3,300 lives.

Worldfocus special correspondent Mark Litke and producer Ara Ayer report from Thailand.
