Militant monks held in Yangon
  25/3
[YANGON] Myanmar authorities rounded up 100 militant monks who were stoning a
mosque frequented by Indonesian embassy staff in western Yangon, hauling them
away in army trucks, witnesses said yesterday. It was the first time since
the unrest
surfaced in the capital that monks had been taken in by security forces,
after several
mosques were ransacked and the house of a Muslim destroyed by monks over the
weekend. -- AFP
