BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Thailand's prime minister said Friday the government is considering granting amnesty to Muslim insurgents in the south, a step that would be a major policy shift in the three-year conflict.
At the same time, Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont said the government supports Buddhists who have taken up arms to protect their families against Muslim insurgents.
On a visit to the south, Surayud said he did not object to an amnesty, proposed by the area's top army chief.
