US prosecutors said Friday they had charged two Myanmar citizens in a plot to attack the country's UN ambassador, Kyaw Moe Tun, an outspoken supporter of the democracy movement who has refused junta orders to quit.
Myanmar's military-backed regime said Sunday their United Nations ambassador – loyal to ousted leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi – is occupying the office illegitimately, as the organisation prepares to weigh his replacement.
