Myanmar Blast Kills General’s Daughter
A bomb exploded at the house of one of Myanmar’s top military officials, killing his daughter and setting off a security alert in Yangon, the government and diplomats said Monday.
The bomb went off Sunday night at the home of Lt. Gen. Tin Oo, one of two secretaries of the State Law and Order Restoration Council and army chief of staff.
A statement by the military government did not give further details except to say that the victim, Cho Lei Oo, 34, was a mother of two and that initial investigations showed the explosion was caused by a parcel bomb.
