	Rangoon: Burma's military Government broadened recent attacks on 
democracy leader Ms Aung San Suu Kyi yesterday with a newspaper commentary 
saying she could not be trusted to be a leader because she had a British 
husband.

	Referring to Ms Suu Kyi as the "puppet princess", a commentary in 
the State-run New Light of Myanmar (Burma) said the 1991 Nobel peace 
prize laureate could not be trusted to keep State secrets if she were 
ever to become the country's leader.

	"Will the wife not let her husband know in the least matters that 
are connected with the affairs of the State?" said the article, written 
under the pen name Patriot.
