A group of Muslim men look through padlocked doors at the 17th century Krue Se mosque April 30, 2004, scene of a shootout between Thai troops and Muslim militants that left 32 insurgents dead earlier this week in Pattani, 1,150 km (718 miles) south of Bangkok. Muslims across southern Thailand prayed in a sombre mood as troops stepped up the hunt around the restive region for what officials said could be thousands of Islamic militants.
