A bomb exploded in a public toilet Sunday at Yangon Railway Station, injuring a woman, in the latest of a spate of blasts reported in military-run Myanmar, security sources said, according to dpa. Aye Myint, 73, who was taking a shower in the toilet, sustained minor injuries in the biceps and right buttock from the blast and was rushed to Rangon General Hospital (RGH), security sources at the hospital confirmed. On Friday there were two separate explosions, one in a public toilet at Naypyitaw Railway Station, the military's new headquarters, and another in Bago Division. Myanmar's state-run press on Sunday blamed Friday's two deadly blasts on saboteurs with backing from a "foreign organization" bent on "practicing hegemony over Myanmar." The New Light of Myanmar, a government mouthpiece, claimed the two saboteurs who set off Friday's bombs died trying when detonating their "US-made powerful explosives." The Naypyitaw bomb killed one woman who was originally described by the state press as an innocent victim. On the same day another bomb was detonated near a football field in Nyaungbintha Village, Bago Division, killing the man who was suspected of planting the bomb and wounding four people. State media identified the Bago bomber as an insurgent from the Karen National Union (KNU), an ethnic minority rebel group that has been waging a war against Myanmar's military for the autonomy of the Karen State since 1948. A second suspect, Saw Ra Makee, was arrested. "According to his confession, the man who was killed in the incident was Saw Di Thaw Mu with the rank of corporal in charge of collecting extortion money of battalion 8, brigade 3 of KNU," said The New Light of Myanmar.
