SNIPPET: “Three explosions have ripped through Burma’s former capital Rangoon, killing nine people and injuring dozens others.
The blasts in Rangoon are the worst to have hit the city since 2005 The triple blast was reported alongside Kandawgyi Lake, where hundreds of people had gathered for the country’s New Year celebrations.
A fourth bomb was later found and defused, according to official sources. Witnesses said people fled and ambulances rushed to help casualties. One Red Cross official said: “I saw blood on many people.
The rush to help the injured
So far it is unclear who is behind the attacks, which took place on the second day of Thingyan, the biggest Buddhist celebrations in the Asian nation, which is also known as Myanmar.”
SNIPPET: “The circumstances hint at non-Buddhist ethnic rebels who accuse the regime of arresting, torturing and killing the minority population in Burma’s restive border regions.
Rebel groups were blamed for another triple bomb attack five years ago, which killed 11 and wounded at least 162.”
