6 Americans Are Held in Roundup

The military regime detained 18 foreigners, including six Americans, for allegedly distributing pamphlets the government said were intended to incite unrest. The detentions came a day after the 10th anniversary of a nationwide uprising against military rule that passed without any reports of disruptions in Myanmar, formerly Burma. In addition to the U.S. citizens, three Thais, three Malaysians, three Indonesians, two Philippine nationals and an Australian were being held, a government official said in a statement faxed to the Associated Press in Bangkok, Thailand. The coalition of private organizations that sent the activists confirmed the nationalities.
