Junta Commanders Also Plunder Spoils From Each Other

It was reported by DIN, S.H.A.N.'s source in the north, that a dispute =
had=20
broken out between Burmese commanders for infringing each other's=20
operational areas to catch contraband.

The dispute arose after Col. Soe Yi, Commander of the Military =
Operations=20
Command from 105th Milestone Camp near Muse of Shan State, across from=20
Ruili of Yunnan, staged a surprise raid on the village of Nawngmawn, =
Bhamo=20
Township, Kachin State at 10:30, on 3 September. The colonel and his=20
raiding party put into custody 4 trucks. They also made a house-to-house =

search and confiscated goods bearing Chinese brands and took them into =
Shan=20
territory.

"One of the trucks was a B.E. Number plate Ba. 5602", said DIN. "The =
owners=20
of the goods were also arrested".

According to DIN, the Colonel's irregular behavior was caused by the =
fact=20
that there were more traders crossing the border into Bhamo than into=20
either Namkham or Muse which fall under his jurisdiction.

"The traders like Bhamo routes better", said DIN, "because they have to =
pay=20
less to the authorities".

The incident caused an uproar between authorities in Bhamo and Col. Soe =
Yi,=20
because the latter's raid was executed without prior notification to the =

former.

"Col. Soe Yi is one of the richest commanders in the SPDC", added DIN.
