Bomb during sermon by radical Myanmar monk Wirathu, wounds five
A bomb exploded meters away from a radical Buddhist monk as
he delivered a mass sermon in Myanmar. Five people were slightly wounded in the
incident. Wirathu, the prominent monk who heads a movement accused of stirring
violence against minority Muslims, said he believed the blast was intended to
silence him. The home-made bomb went off inside a parked car. There was no
immediate claim of responsibility. Tensions have been smouldering between radical
elements of Myanmar's Buddhist majority and its minority Muslims.
