Myanmar warns terrorists plan to disrupt Constitutional Convention
Wednesday, July 4, 2007.


YANGON, Myanmar (AP) - Myanmar's military government has warned that
former students have turned into "terrorists," infiltrated the
country's biggest cities and plan to disrupt a constitution-drafting
convention, state-run media reported Wednesday.


At least a dozen "internal and external terrorists," linked to a
group
of exiled student dissidents, completed small-arms training near
Myanmar's border with Thailand and have entered the commercial
capital, Yangon, the New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported.


The paper said they were also in the administrative capital,
Naypyidaw, and the northern city of Mandalay.


It said the All Burma Students' Democratic Front, or ABSDF, trained
the terrorists. The paper also printed the names and descriptions of
some of those accused of planning "to jeopardize peace and
stability,"
and urged the public to expose them. Myanmar is also called Burma.
