Bombs explode in Rakhine capital



At least one policeman was injured in three bomb blasts in Sitwai, the capital of Rakhine state of Myanmar.

In the meantime, the first bomb was exploded on the back of the state government secretary Thin Maung Sawi around 4:30 pm on Saturday.

One bomb near the local high court premises and another bomb exploded near the land records office.

Police can not be sure of who is behind this blast. No one has claimed responsibility for the blasts.

Police spokesman Colonel Maio Thu Sole told Reuters, "We can guess who is behind this blast. But the time to talk about this has not yet come. Police are trying to ascertain the suspects through the explosion ground observation. "

Police also recovered three unexploded grenades from the city, he said.

Just three days before the bomb blast in the city's northeast, two bank staffers were killed and several others were injured.

On August 25 last year, a new army operation started in Rakhine after 30 police posts and an army base attacked. In the village of Rohingyas, about seven lakh people have fled to Bangladesh and have taken refuge in Bangladesh so far in the killing, rape and burning disputes.

The Rohingya refugees who took refuge in Bangladesh, described the extreme oppression of the army. The United Nations describes the Army Aviation as a 'ethnic cleansing campaign'.

The United States has listed the names of 52 people and organizations, including Major General Maung Mounong Soi, who led the operation, last December.
