(Based on Burmese posts from the FACEBOOK in May & June 2021.)
Apparently their Underground NLD masters are
teaching them how to assemble cheap home-made pipe bombs in the jungle and
sending them back without any sophisticated bomb-making tools into proper
Burma.
Instead of
buying proper explosives with many millions of US dollars provided by the
foreign governments and NGOs, their masters are pocketing most foreign
donations and the youths are forced to purchase nitrate-fertilizers, gunpowder,
and cheap fuses locally with whatever little cash they are given.
And the home-made pipe-bombs they are trying to make are now killing them in drove. Following is a typical case of one incident in Meikhtilar where one young university-student was killed by accidental explosion and the rest all together 19 youths (5 boys and 9 girls) were captured by the military just yesterday (June-7).
Accidental Bomb Explosion Alerted The Army
At 14:30 on
June-7, 2021 an explosion from the large compound of Shwe Ohn Bin (Golden
Coconut Tree) restaurant was reported to the local police. The police men went
to the compound and discovered the traces of one pipe-bomb explosion at about
ten feet away from the restaurant. They also found one unexploded pipe-bomb at
about 20 feet away.
The said
restaurant is located at 293-Mile of Rangoon-Mandalay Expressway at
Meikhtilar-Myingyan Highway. The military personnel discovered a sturdy
underground bunker of about 5-ft width by 6-ft depth. Brick-walled inside with
thatched-roof, the bunker has two 5-stepped brick stairs as two access points
going down into the bunker. The bunker is at about 50 feet away from the small
building served as a rest place for travelling Buddhist monks.
Inside the
bunker an unknown young man was found with his head blown off from the apparent
explosion of a pipe bomb he had been working on. There also were bomb-making
accessories such as metal pipes and end-caps, cut fuses, bearing-balls, and
bags of ammonium-nitrate.
According to the
army investigators the bomb-making bunker was dug a couple of months ago by the
owners couple, Pyi Phyo Kyaw and Win Suu Kyaw, who fled away just after the
accidental explosion.
And the dead
bomber was their son Soe Yan Naing a final year student from Meik Hti Lar
Computer University. He apparently went to the insurgents-controlled jungle, received
intensive training on explosives and bomb-making, and then came back to Meik
Hti Lar to lead a disruptive bombing campaign of schools and local
administrative offices in the Middle Burma. He is now sadly dead before he could
manage to kill many people.
Police later
arrested 14 females and 5 males, altogether 19 Gen-Z would-be bombers, based on
the evidence they had left at the crime scene. Tons of home-made gun powder,
metal pipes, metal caps, bearing-balls, and cut fuses were also captured.
