Terrorism in Myanmar

Terrorism in Burma (also known as Myanmar) primarily consists of anti-government militant activity. Militant separatists in India, such as the United Liberation Front of Assam and the United National Liberation Front, have bases in Burma from which they launch attacks.[1]

Notable incidents include the 1983 Rangoon bombing, allegedly by North Korean agents, three bombings on 7 May 2005 in the capital which killed 11 and injured more than 150, and bombings in April 2010 Yangon Thingyan.

Ethnic rebels were blamed.[2]
