YANGON (AFP): A fire from a hurled Molotov cocktail broke out early Friday (March 26) at the party headquarters of deposed civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar's largest city, a party official said.

The country has been in uproar since the military ousted the Nobel laureate in a lightning putsch on Feb 1, triggering an uprising demanding a return to democracy.
