Myanmar police arrest man over Yangon blasts

Yangon, May 06: Myanmar police said Thursday they had arrested a man in connection with last month’s deadly blasts in a Yangon park, blaming the attack on a militant exile group opposed to the ruling junta.

“This brutal act was committed by four terrorist murderers who are members of a group known as the Vigorous Burmese Student Warriors,” Myanmar police chief Khin Yi said in a statement.

Several other suspects had fled back across the Thai border, police said.
