Burmese arrest missionary

Burmese soldiers have arrested a Karen missionary and three members of his
family on suspicion of spying for the anti-Rangoon movement.

The missionary, identified only as Sae, was detained along with the other
three captives since Friday following his arrest on Sunday opposite Ban
Wangtakian.

Border security officials said Mr Sae was arrested after Karen National
Union guerrillas seized a Burmese soldier and four village chiefs on Friday
night.
