Blasts from at least one parcel bomb in Burma (also known as Myanmar) have killed five people, including an ousted lawmaker and three police officers who had joined a civil disobedience movement opposing military rule, media reported on Tuesday.
Since the elected government led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi was overthrown in a coup on Feb. 1, Burma has seen an increasing number of small blasts in residential areas, and sometimes targeting government offices or military facilities.
