Myanmar Air Strike: army did the air strike; more than 80 died

INTERNATIONAL DESK:

More than 80 people, including singers and musicians, were killed in the airstrikes by the Myanmar army.  They had attended the anniversary celebrations of the main political organization of the Kachin ethnic minority group.  The group members and a rescue worker gave this information on Monday.
A spokesman for the Kachin Arts Association said 80 people were killed and about 100 others were injured in Sunday night's airstrikes.  He said four bombs were dropped by military aircraft at the venue.  The attacks come three days after foreign ministers of Southeast Asian countries are scheduled to hold a special meeting in Indonesia to discuss the widespread violence in Myanmar.
For the first time since the military cop in February last year, the airstrikes at the ceremony held on Sunday night have come to light for the first time that such a large number of people have died in a single attack.
