Shans Net Amphetamines Again

Ten days after capturing 400,000 amphetamines across Chiangrai the Shan=20
resistance has netted another 84,000 from the junta commanders again =
across=20
Chiangmai thereby fortifying their allegations against the junta of its=20
involvement in drugs.

Maihoong from Mongton Township, Monghsat District, reported yesterday =
that=20
two trucks transporting Burmese soldiers and militia were attacked by a=20
unit from the Shan State Army's 727th Brigade at 08:00 on 23 December. =
The=20
ambush took place near Nam Yom, Poongpakhem Tract, Mongton Township, =
only=20
half kilometer distant from BP-1.

One truck belonged to Ko Maung Than, who used to be Mongton Township=20
Registration Officer but now the Township Branch Postmaster. The other=20
belonged to Ja-u, a militia chief. "There were Ko Maung Than in the =
first=20
truck with two soldiers and two civilians, and 7 militiamen including =
Ja-u=20
in the second one", said Maihoong. "Only two militiamen got away after=20
being wounded".

Among the booty were 84,000 amphetamine tablets.

"The Shan must have been alerted in advance of their coming, because =
there=20
were 5-6 motor vehicles that had already past their hidden positions but =

they did not touch", he said.

The two traders who were killed came from Langkho, he added, where the =
Pa-o=20
militia in Pangtawi had an amphetamine factory.

SSA News reported earlier 5 killed and 3 wounded on the SPDC's side and =
1=20
killed on its own side. The militia chief was also among those killed.

The attack was led by Lt. Ba Htun, an officer known for his intrepid =
exploits.

The captured drugs were turned over to the Thai authorities the =
following=20
day, said Maihoong.
