Burmese Military Helicopters Attack Villagers in Region Where Resistance to Coup Remains Strong
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Burma, local media is reporting thousands of people fled their homes
after helicopter attacks in the central Sagaing region, where resistance
has remained strong to the military junta which overthrew the civilian
leadership in a February 1 coup. At least 7 people were reported dead
after weekend air attacks.

In related news, the U.N. has denied, for now, representation for the
military junta at the international body. The U.N. also denied
diplomatic seats to Afghanistan's Taliban leaders.
