Myanmar allegedly has been laying landmines across a section of its border with Bangladesh, said government sources in Dhaka, adding that the purpose may have been to prevent the return of Rohingya Muslims who are being driven out of Myanmar for good reason. The Rohingyas (who actually are Bengali Muslims from Bangladesh) are as unwelcome in their homeland as they are in Myanmar.
Reuters (h/t RF) Bangladesh will on Wednesday formally lodge a protest against the laying of land mines so close to the border, said the sources, who had direct knowledge of the situation but asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.
A Myanmar Army crackdown triggered by an attack on Aug. 25 by Rohingya Muslim insurgents on Myanmar security forces has led to the killing of at least 400 people and the exodus of nearly 125,000 Rohingya to neighboring Bangladesh, leading to a major humanitarian crisis.
Myanmar isn’t the only country trying to get rid of its Rohingyas. 40,000 Rohingya Muslims have illegally entered India from Myanmar and they are being trained as terrorists.
Reuters was unable to independently verify that the planted devices were land mines and that there was any link to the Myanmar army. The Bangladesh interior ministry secretary, Mostafa Kamal Uddin, did not respond to calls seeking comment.

Hey Bonni, is anyone else having problems posting your articles to Face Book? For the past week it seems I’m no longer “allowed”. Not happy.
This is the first I’ve heard, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Fascist book is blocking BNI stories.
Yeah, all it does is keep spinning as its trying to load the article. Your site isn’t the first one I’ve had trouble with either.
Are you using the FB share button here?
Yes. I used to be able to post from here, but not anymore. Frustrating.
From where are you posting now?
I use my iPad all the time. I hit the FB link to,post to my wall, but lately all it does is attempt to load. I used to,have no problem at all. Now, I do. I may have to check out my router. After that, I’m all out of ideas.
Ort, try just doing cut and paste of the headline/link.
I believer Buddhist pacifism caused formerly Buddhist countries Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia (formerly Hindu, Buddhist and animist) to fall at the hands of islam.
Glad they learned the history and will not the insidious ideology call islam and its infected followers touch its path.
I am glad that Myanmar is pushing back. One has to really push all the buttons to get Buddhist clergy willing to commit violence. All this talk about Rohingya ‘women and children’ are a bunch of bull.
But wait, there’s more!

Land mines …. as in IED (improvised explosive device) …. but, when the Muslims do it …. it’s clever …. like “Improv Theatre” ?
Muslums are shocked to find the peaceful Buddhists will not lay down & roll over for the Muslums like the Europeans do. How shocking! They are being expelled for their terrorism. Even planting land mines so they won’t come back! Hahaha
Lol true lol thats funi lol
Go monks, poor India. Learn from your neighbours. Hehe dont let the door hit your butt on the way out … oh and dont come back
When you manage to enrage a bunch of saffron robed Buddhist monks to the point where they are brandishing guns, you have REALLY messed up!
As BNI has said: Hell hath no fury like a group of peaceful Buddhists scorned.
While I have always loathed the very idea of landmines, having walked along cleared tracks in the Falklands, where the odd mine is still found, I do understand the valid feelings of the Buddhists–power to them!
“You can be full of kindness and love but you cannot lay down by a mad dog”
Now there is a comment that deserves repeating. Izslime is indeed a mad dog. Muzslime are putred, evil, vile creatures, that should NEVER be allowed to live anywhere good decent civilized people live.
Even the biased BBC admits they are being supported by Saudi Arabia, even though that doesnt stop them from being sympathetic to the Muslimes
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41082689
These Muslims are paid for and supported by Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
I have no sympathy for them.
Wherever they live in the world they always cause trouble.
I hope they are all kicked out.
