Burma: U.S. embassy apologizes over ‘bomb scare’

AFTER triggering a bomb scare in the Burmese (Myanmar) capital of Yangon, the United States embassy in the country has apologized over a tear gas training exercise incident which prompted emergency services to be dispatched to the scene.

The embassy made the public apology after a tear gas grenade exploded Sunday night during a security exercise, sending fumes out onto the street and sparking rumors of a bomb.

The embassy said in a statement Monday that no one was injured in the incident and that its operations were continuing normally. (Courtesy of asiancorrespondent.com)
