RANGOON, Burma (AP) -- A bomb exploded Wednesday night at
a pagoda in Rangoon, killing four people and wounding 18.
The explosion occurred at the Kabaaye Pagoda, where a relic
believed to be Buddha's tooth is being displayed. There
were no
immediate details of the explosion.
The tooth is on loan from China, which lent the relic
as a good-will
gesture this month. It is one of two believed to have
survived since
Buddha's death 2,500 years ago. The other tooth relic
is kept in Sri
Lanka.
