Burmese call off truce talks with rebels
-----------------
	Anti-Rangoon Karenni National Progressive Party soldiers have continued to
harass Burmese government troops in Shan and Kayah states, prompting the
Burmese junta to call off truce talks, a border source said. 
	The latest engagement took place on June 12 when the karenni rebels
attacked government soldiers near the Thai border opposite Ban Nam :hiang
Din of Muang district. One Rangoon soldier was killed and many wounded in
the exchange of fire.
	The Burmese government had earlier called on the Karenni group to hold
ceasefire talks, but some rebel leaders rejected it and harassed government
forces in the two states in order to disrupt the talks.
