Army spokesman accuses attackers’ supporters of using AI image to distort Narathiwat case

A Royal Thai Army spokesman clarified that a viral image circulating online, which allegedly showed a tattoo on the arm of an attacker involved in a shooting at a ranger checkpoint in Narathiwat, was generated or altered by AI. The image had been shared with claims questioning the attacker's religion, as tattoos are generally regarded as contrary to Islamic principles. The Army spokesman stated the image appeared unnaturally sharp and excessively enhanced, making it look artificial, and suggested it was spread by supporters of the attackers to distort facts and stir public opinion.
