WORLD : 3 Killed in Rangoon City Hall Blast
An explosion ripped through the first floor of City Hall today, killing three people and wounding four, official radio said.
The bombing came hours after up to 15,000 people staged a nearby rally to protest military rule, Western diplomats said.
The bomb exploded when a 50-year-old city employee opened a cupboard in a recreation room near the main entrance of the building, Rangoon Radio reported. The employee, a co-worker and a 12-year-old youth were killed in the blast.
No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
