BURMA
Rioting Monks Held
Security forces rounded up 100 militant monks after they stoned
a mosque in western Rangoon on March 23. Burma's ruling
military junta urged the country to remain calm, claiming "internal
and external destructionists" were behind religious tensions. The
reported rape of a Buddhist girl by a Muslim man sparked
anti-Muslim rioting.
