A mob wielding weapons razed a Muslim prayer hall in northern Myanmar, state media has reported. It was the second attack on a mosque in just over a week as anti-Muslim sentiment swells in the Buddhist-majority nation, police said yesterday.
The latest flare-up in violence saw throngs of Buddhist villagers in Hpakant, a jade-mining town in northern Kachin state, storm a mosque and set it ablaze on Friday. (Courtesy of straitstimes.com)
