Krue Sae Mosque or Krue Se Mosque (Thai: มัสยิดกรือเซะ), is located in Pattani Province, Thailand. It was begun about 1583, but was never completed because of a power struggle between the sultan of Pattani and his brother. The present structure dates to the 18th century CE and features a mixture of Middle Eastern and European architectural styles.[1]
Krue Sae Mosque Incident
On 28 April 2004, during a period of insurgency by Islamic nationalists in the southernmost provinces, 32 suspected guerrillas took shelter in the mosque. After a 7 hour stand-off with Thai military personnel, they were attacked and killed, along with about 80 others.[2] The attack was made in contradiction of orders from the Minister of Defence to end the confrontation peacefully, and has been the subject of am international inquiry, which concluded the military had used excessive force.
