Myanmar regime blames bomb blasts which injured 13 on ethnic minorities

YANGON, Myanmar - State media says that ethnic minority rebels in Myanmar are behind recent blasts that have wounded 13 people, including three Chinese nationals.

The Myanmar Ahlin newspaper said Thursday that the disbanded Kokang Army set off two mines that injured nine people, including the Chinese, in northeastern Myanmar on Monday. It blamed the Shan State Army (South) for explosions Tuesday that injured four people in Shan State.

Several ethnic minority groups in Myanmar field guerrilla forces seeking autonomy from the military government. The fighting, most of it in border areas, has displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians.
