Arrested Rangoon spy confesses

A Burmese soldier arrested at a Karen refugee camp in Suan Phueng,
Ratchaburi on Sunday night has allegedly confessed to being assigned to
conduct intelligence work at the camp. 

Mi Suya, alias Pid Sura, 29, said he was attached to a Rangoon-based
intelligence unit, a military source said. 

He arrived in Ratchaburi on January 17 and was arrested while he was about
to enter the refugee camp at Ban Tham Hin. His assignment was to gather
information about the camps, the refugees and anti-Rangoon movement. 

According to the source, the man was once assigned to pose as a deserter
and defected to the Karen National Union's 10th Battalion of the 4th
Division on an intelligence mission.
