The new idea has emerged following a leadership change within the ranks of the separatist movement. Lt Gen Piyawat Nakwanich, the 4th Army commander, on Sunday dismissed the BRN's separatist plan, saying they were talking nonsense. By that time, nobody will want to join any separatist movement, Lt Gen Piwayat said. Another BRN member said he belongs to a paramilitary unit of the BRN. Another BRN member whose job is to burn buildings said that the task is for beginners in order to develop their mental strength.
