Mar 23, 2005 (DVB) - The most secretive organisation in Burma, Vigorous Burmese Student Warriors (VBSW) claimed responsibility for recent bomb blasts in Burmese capital Rangoon. 
In an unsigned statement issued on 22 March, simply titled "RESPONSIBLE FOR RECENT BLASTS BUT GUARANTEE FOR MORE", VBSW said it was responsible for "recent two bomb blasts of Panorama Hotel on Pan Soe Tang Street in Rangoon and of Ban Du La Company on Parame Street in Rangoon". Ban Du La Company is closely associated with military owned Myanmar Holdings Ltd.
The warriors insisted they "don't want to harm any civilian as well as a foreigner", but warned that three more blasts could occur at three different locations in the near future: "one bomb in Mandalay Division, one bomb in military community in Mawbe Township, Rangoon Division, and one bomb in nearby of Nyaung Nint Pin Convention (the SDPC Sponsored National Convention)". They also demanded Burma's military junta, State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) to immediately stop the ongoing convention and release all political prisoners. |
