The Myanmar authorities warned on Tuesday that three anti-government armed organizations have sent five bombers into the country to launch more attacks in Yangon, calling on people to help expose the saboteurs.
According to a report of the official newspaper New Light of Myanmar, the bombers, sent by the organizations including the Kayin National Union (KNU) and the All Burma Students' Democratic Front (ABSDF), are trying to detonate bombs in the former capital's busy locations.
The warning came after a bomber, Saw Ya Ko, was arrested on last Friday on charge of planting two bombs in a video lounge in Kyuaukkyi, Bago division, earlier on Thursday night which killed a man and a woman, and injured nine others.
Meanwhile, another explosion in a big bus in Yangon on Sept. 9 also injured three passengers with the bus almost destroyed.
In July this year, two bombs respectively exploded in Yangon and Bago divisions with the prior in a two-storey office of the Union Solidarity and Development Association in Yangon's Shwepyitha township, destroying a clinic-attached office building and leaving no casualties, while the latter killed one passenger and injured another one on a mini-bus in Daik U township near the Kawliya Bridge en route from Kyaukkyi to Yangon with 35 passenger son board.
On Sept. 6, one more bomb went off on Hpa-an-Hlinebwe road in Mebaung village of Hpa-an township, Myanmar's southeastern Kayin state, destroying a 50-KVA hydropower generator and slightly injuring a staff member.
The authorities have linked these incidents with insurgents who are blamed for committing destructive acts to jeopardize the stability of the state, community peace and prevalence of law and order and cause panic among the people.
