Burma: Bomb Blast Kills Woman Near New Capital
Burma: Bomb Blast Kills Woman Near New Capital
13 January 2008 - A small bomb today exploded at the Pyinmana railway station near Burma's new jungle capital Naypyidaw, killing a woman.
Though the dead woman has not been officially identified, sources in Rangoon said, she belongs to a Karen ethnic group.
Though such small bomb explosions are not uncommon in Burma, the blast is the first in Naypyidaw, the ruling junta's new "bunker" capital.
The ruling junta, which has been quick at pointing to its political opposition and dissidents for any such blasts in the past, has so far not commented.
