A RETIRED high-ranking officer in Myanmar’s military was shot dead by a self-proclaimed urban guerrilla group near his home in the country’s biggest city, marking the latest assassination attributed to rebel fighters opposed to army rule.
The former army officer, Cho Tun Aung, was shot by a man on Thursday at around 9am local time while he was standing in front of his home in Yangon’s Mayangon township, a member of the local administration said.
