JUNTA  RENEWS  ATTACK  ON  'COBRA'  SUU  KYI

Bangkok Post (July 31,1997)
Just days after Western countries pressed Burma to open a dialogue with
democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, state-run media renewed their attacks
yesterday on the Nobel Peace Prize winner, calling her a cobra.
In a rambling essay by an army officer in Burmese- and English-language
state-run newspapers, Ms Suu Kyi was accused of  betraying the country
and her father, independence leader Aung San. ---AP
