U.S Embassy in Rangoon Suspends Vis (r)



Precaution is better than cure.  Rangoon may be an easy target for pugnacious
international terrorists to attack American interests there.  Remember! North
Korean commandos could launch a bomb attack, which killed some Burmese and
South Korean officials in October, 1983.   In November, 1979, 500 Iranian
students (Revolutionary Guards) seized the US embassy in Teheran and held its
inhabitants hostage for 444 days.  Well, Rangoon may become a launching pad
for international terrorists.

More importantly the suspension of non-immigrant visa operations may have been
politically motivated.  U Ohn Gyaw and  Burmese delegation to the annual UN
General Assembly may have trouble to get visa.  Any idea?
