Myanmar mob burns down mosque, second in a week

A mob burned down a mosque in northern Myanmar, the second attack in a little more than one week.

Several hundred villagers wielding sticks, knives and other weapons raided and burned the structure around 3:30 p.m. Friday, according to the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar state-newspaper.

Local authorities and security forces said they tried to disperse the mob but that the mob was unresponsive and entirely beyond control.

No arrests were made and an investigation has been launched. (Courtesy of gopusa.com)
