Who Killed Aung San? [Interview With Gen. Kyaw Zaw]

Description: 

"...Q: Who do you think really killed Bogyoke Aung San? A: Who really killed Bogyoke Aung San was the British government. It was their plot. Q: Why do you say that?

And finally, they supposed that they could handle Burma more easily if they removed him. These were the reasons why he was killed..."
