Burma Rebel Leader Assassinated

The secretary general of Burma's largest rebel group, the Karen National Union (KNU), has been assassinated in Thailand.

Police say Pado Mahn Shar was gunned down at his home in the border town of Mae Sot.

In an interview with Reuters news agency on Monday, he had predicted a possible increase in violence ahead of a constitutional referendum in Burma in May.

The KNU and its military wing, the Karen National Liberation Army, have spent nearly 60 years fighting the Burmese government.

But in more recent times, the group has been split by deadly internal feuds and defections to the government.
