YANGON, July 1: A local employee with an international aid group in Myanmar's conflict-torn Rakhine State was stabbed to death by "terrorists", the government said Saturday, the latest in a spate of grisly killings blamed on Rohingya militants. On Saturday the government said a local aid worker in northern Rakhine was dragged out of his home on 29 June and hacked to death by "about 10 terrorists wearing black masks and holding hatchets and knives". Northern Rakhine has been gripped by crisis ever since the military launched a brutal crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in response to a militant uprising in October 2016. More than 75,000 Rohingya fled the army campaign, which UN investigators say was so ruthless it may amount to a crime against humanity.    — AFP [Read More]
