Myanmar: Military Accused
(Reuters)	Amnesty International accused Myanmar's ruling military of 
widespread abuses against ethnic minorities, including killings, torture and 
rape, and said Myanmar's record had worsened since it joined the Association 
of Southeast Asian Nations in 1997. The London-based rights group said the 
military had killed "dozens" of unarmed farmers from Karen, Karenni and Shan 
ethnic groups in the last year.
