Buddhist Villagers: Muslim and Rohingya

buddhist villagers: But Rohingya Muslim insurgents said Saturday that the 10 Rohingya, found in a mass grave, were 'innocent civilians.' Simon Lewis/Reuters Rohingya Muslim insurgents said Saturday that 10 Rohingya found in a mass grave in Myanmar's troubled Rakhine state last month were innocent civilians, and not members of their group, according to CBC. Myanmar's military said earlier this week its soldiers had killed 10 captured Muslim terrorists during insurgent attacks at the beginning of September, after Buddhist villagers had forced the captured men into a grave the villagers had dug. Earlier this week, the military said its soldiers had killed 10 captured Muslim 'terrorists' during insurgent attacks in September. It was a rare acknowledgment of wrongdoing by the military in Myanmar, also known as Burma, during its operations in the western state of Rakhine. We hereby declare that these 10 innocent Rohingya civilians found in the said mass grave in Inn Din Village Tract were neither ARSA nor had any association with ARSA the group said in a statement on Twitter. The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army ARSA whose raids against security posts starting last August sparked sweeping military operations in the Muslim-majority northern part of Rakhine, said it wholeheartedly welcomes the admission of war crimes by the Burmese terrorist army.
