Blasts in Iraq, 7 killed

BAGHDAD: An Iraqi police officer says blasts have killed seven people in the western province of Anbar.

Col. Fadhil Nimrawi says the first explosion targeted the house of the director of the anti-terrorism unit in the town of Hit, about 85 miles (140 kilometers) west of Baghdad. The director was wounded and his mother, two sisters and a child were killed.

Nimrawi says a lawyer was killed by another bomb at his home. Two other explosions at separate locations also occurred on Thursday morning.

Blast in Northern Myanmar, 7 killed

YANGON: A bomb planted at a fair celebrating the ethnic Karen minority’s New Year holiday killed seven people and wounded 11 others, state media reported Friday.

The bomb exploded near food stalls at a festival ground in Hpa-pun in northern Karen state where celebrations were under way for the lunar Karen New Year, the Myanma Ahlin newspaper reported.

Myanmar’s tightly controlled state media typically reports violence several days after it occurs.

No one claimed responsibility for the blast, which the newspaper blamed on rebels from the Karen National Union.

The KNU has been fighting for more than 60 years for greater autonomy from Myanmar’s central government, but its strength has dwindled over the past decade because of army offensives and divisions within its ranks.
