Comment: See the BBC's "In pictures: Violence in Burma's Lashio" (May 29).

And also the New York Times' "Myanmar Struggles to Put Down Buddhist Attack on Muslims" (May 29).

Perhaps the military junta is struggling because it is effectively part of the plot to "put down" the Royingya.

 

Looking for Muslims: Hundreds of Buddhist men on motorcycles 

roamed the streets with machetes, sticks and metal rods.
