Myanmar’s military government and its opponents traded accusations over a bomb that exploded on Tuesday in the country’s largest city, Yangon, killing one and wounding nine others.
A story in yesterday’s edition of the Global New Light of Myanmar, a state-run newspaper, linked the blast to the armed movement that opposes last year’s military seizure of power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The report blamed the People’s Defense Forces (PDF), the opposition movement’s armed wing, but did not supply any evidence.
It said the attack was made with a “handmade bomb planted by PDF terrorists at a bus stop”
