Burmese Protests Continue as Fears Mount of Military Crackdown
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Burma, armored vehicles have been unleashed on the streets of major
cities as mass protests opposing the military coup continued for the
10th consecutive day Monday. In the northern state of Kachin, security
forces fired at a crowd of protesters that had gathered outside a power
plant Sunday. They also used water cannons to disperse the crowd. Five
journalists were arrested while covering the clash. On Sunday, security
forces raided the homes of several prominent critics of Burma's military
coup.
