Insurgents free abducted NLD members


An armed group in Myanmar’s conflict-wracked Rakhine state released three members of Aung San Suu Kyi’s ruling party, who they had kidnapped ahead of November’s election.

The Arakan Army (AA) has for nearly two years been locked in battle with Myanmar’s powerful military, fighting for more autonomy for the state’s ethnic Rakhine population.
