Myanmar sets curfew in Karen State

     Myanmar has placed a curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. in
northeastern Karen State, where some parts remain under the control
of ethnic minority rebels, a Karen resident said Wednesday.
     Effective Wednesday, the curfew was imposed in major cities 
because the ruling junta fears a general strike on Sept. 9, according 
to a Pa-an resident who had arrived in Thailand.
