Security tight at Suu Kyi's father's ceremony
Hundreds of riot police and soldiers ringed a monument in central Rangoon today as officials gathered to commemorate the shooting death 61 years ago of Burma opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s father.
Burma’s independence hero General Aung San and other government leaders were assassinated by gunmen during a Cabinet meeting on July 19, 1947, shortly after Britain granted independence to the Southeast Asian colony.
