A state-run Myanmar newspaper warned Thursday against more possible terrorist attacks after the turning down recently by the United Nations Security Council over a United States-Britain-proposed draft resolution which called for a UN action against Myanmar.
"As another step, internal and external destructive elements are conspiring a plot to continue to commit terrorist acts and destructive acts in complicity to cause unrest and mass demonstrations in Myanmar with the intention of making an excuse to take action against Myanmar in an alternative way," the English- language New Light of Myanmar said in its report.
Quoting a website announcement by the "Vigorous Burmese Student Warriors (VBSW)" which claimed the responsibility of a recent letter bomb explosion inside a Yangon township post office, the report warned that the VBSW is collaborating with two government- announced terrorist organizations -- the All Burman Students' Democratic Front (ABSDF) and the Federation of Trade Union-Burma ( FTUB) and planning to send a terrorist group into Myanmar through some Thai-Myanmar border routes to carry out sabotage.
A letter bomb exploded at the Bahan Post Office on the ground floor of Yuzana Tower in Yangon on Jan. 15, injuring a 58-year-old postman. Again in three consecutive days since Jan. 20, three mine explosions in Kyaukkyi, the country's Bago division, also injured four people following the killing of a man by an insurgent-planted mine in the same area on Jan. 12, according to earlier official reports.
Meanwhile, many different organizations in Myanmar are condemning the draft resolution proposed to the UNSC by the United States and Britain, which was turned down on Jan. 12.
