BANGKOK (AFP): Teachers at a Myanmar school hit by a military helicopter attack last week have spoken of the terrifying horror of the onslaught -- including watching a wounded child screaming in agony, begging to die.

Friday's (Sept 16) violence at a school in Let Yet Kone village, Sagaing region, killed 14 people -- 12 of them children, the youngest aged seven.
