History
The group was formed in 1959 by Tengku Abdul Jalal, aka Adul na Saiburi,[8] and is reputed to be one of the first armed insurgent outfits in the Pattani area.[9] The group had its base in Southern Thailand.[10]
Barisan Islam Pembebasan Patani
The BNPP was very active in the 1970s and 1980s. It renamed itself to "Islamic Front for the Liberation of Pattani" (BIPP) in 1986.[6][11] After a period of dormancy, it was revived in 2002. The renewed group has reduced its nationalistic emphasis and expanded its hard-line Islamic politico-religious goals. It is known for its attacks against the Buddhist minorities of Southern Thailand. The political wing of the group participates in Malaysian state-level politics.[12]
