TWO tiger cubs that were breastfed by a woman for nearly six weeks have died in a zoo in Burma.

Two Bengal tiger cubs that were breastfed by a woman for nearly six weeks have died of dehydration in a zoo in Burma, according to a report.

A UN envoy who met detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi today in Burma said she was “well and in good spirits” and that the military junta had assured him she would be released soon, perhaps in about two weeks.

MYANMAR’S military government yesterday said detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi had not been harmed in last week’s clashes between her supporters and pro-government groups, rejecting rumours she had been injured.
