  Death toll soars in Myanmar riots between Buddhists, Muslims March 22, 2013 - 12:05 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - At least 20 people have died in two days of rioting between Buddhists and Muslims in a central Myanmar town, Belfast Telegraph said. Residents of Meikhtila remain locked in their homes, too afraid to walk the streets. Opposition National League for Democracy politician Win Htein said at least five mosques were burned down since the violence started on Wednesday, March 20 in the town. He said there was no immediate sign of fresh violence but the situation remained tense. And he said fires continued to burn but angry Buddhist residents and monks prevented the authorities from putting out blazes set to Muslim homes. The violence was the latest sectarian unrest after clashes in western Rakhine state last year left more than 200 dead.
