Myanmar police arrest 5 in connection with mosque burning

Police in Myanmar arrested five people Tuesday in connection with the recent burning down of a mosque in the northern state of Kachin.

A group of Buddhist extremists set fire to the prayer hall in the village of Lone Khin, Hpakant township, on July 1.

Police officer Moe Lwin from Lone Khin said, "We have arrested four men and a woman. They (were part of the group) who destroyed the mosque."

"It is not very easy to take legal action against all the people concerned with this case as there were many people there on that day," the police officer said. (Courtesy of presstv.ir)
