Suu Kyi hails army’s confession


Yangon: Myanmar’s civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi (pic) has welcomed an unprecedented army admission that security forces carried out extra-judicial killings of Rohingya Muslims as a “positive step”, state-backed media reported yesterday.

After months of staunch denials of abuse, the army on Wednesday said a probe found four members of the security forces helped kill 10 Rohingya militant suspects at Inn Din village on Sept 2, leaving their bodies in a hastily dug pit.
