Rohingya militants massacred Hindus: Amnesty International
2018-05-24
[DAWN] Rohingya faceless myrmidons massacred Hindu villagers during last year’s uprising in Myanmar’s Rakhine, Amnesty Inter­national said on Tuesday in a report that sheds fresh light on the complex ethnic rivalries in the state.

The killings took place on Aug 25, 2017, the report said, the same day that the Rohingya bandidos Death Eaters staged coordinated deadly raids on police posts that tipped the state into crisis.

Myanmar’s military responded to the Death Eater raids with harsh reprisals.

The UN says the army crackdown amounted to "ethnic cleansing" of the Rohingya, with soldiers and vigilante mobs accused of killing civilians and burning down villages.

But the Rohingya faceless myrmidons have also been accused of abuses.

Those include the mass killing of Hindus in the far north of Rakhine, where the military took news hounds ‐ including AFP ‐ to witness the exhumation of putrid bodies from a grave in September.

The holy warriors, known as the Arakan Rohingya Salv­a­tion Army (ARSA), denied responsibility at the time.

But Amnesty Internati­onal said on Tuesday that a new investigation had confirmed the group killed 53 Hindus "execution-style" ‐ mostly children ‐ in the Kha Maung Seik village cluster in northern Maungdaw.

#4  Could be non-local IS doing a "drive-by atrocity" to get the locals and Rohingya further inflamed in sectarian conflict. In WW2, supposedly, Tito's Partisans had a habit of sneaking into a quiet district and killing the German garrison troops. Germans shoot local hostages and Tito gets new allies....

#3  I think we all knew it was something like this. I'm shocked that AI would report it after all the caterwauling about the peaceful Rohingya being chased from their fields and their looms by those brutish Hindu and Buddhist savages.

Remember this the next time you read about the poor Rohingya.
