Rioting Monks Held FEER 4/3





          BURMA
          Rioting Monks Held
          Security forces rounded up 100 militant monks after they stoned
          a mosque in western Rangoon on March 23. Burma's ruling
          military junta urged the country to remain calm, claiming "internal
          and external destructionists" were behind religious tensions. The
          reported rape of a Buddhist girl by a Muslim man sparked
          anti-Muslim rioting.
