January 19
The KIA – the so called Kachin
Independence Army has been launching a terror campaign and various acts of
terrorism, endangering the livelihood of the local residents since many years
ago, a fact local and international mainstream never bothered to report.
The latest act of terror was the
attack on the Karmaing police station in Kachin state where more than 100
Kachin rebels attacked, occupied and burned the buildings to ground early
morning today. The poorly armed and defended police station was attacked at
4:55 am by about 100 KIA rebels. The tiny police force within the station
defended the post until 7:20 am and had to withdraw due to overwhelming
strength of the attacking rebels, after which the KIAs entered the police
station and burned most of the buildings.
