Myanmar rebel group admits to killings


YANGON: A Myanmar rebel group said on Friday (Jan 31) its members killed two prisoners in a rare admission of deadly violence as it fights the ruling junta to maintain control of the country's western borderlands.

The incident, which "violated military discipline", occurred in February last year during an Arakan Army (AA) offensive on Kyauktaw township in Rakhine state, according to the militant group's spokesman Khaing Thu Kha.
