<font face="ARIAL" color="#800000"><b>BURMESE EMBASSY SIEGE<br>
</font><font size=7 color="#000000">All in camp accounted for<br>
</font><font size=5>A</font></b><font size=3> list of Burmese students at
Ban Maneeloy holding centre in Ratchaburi has been checked and all are
accounted for, Interior Ministry sources said.<br>
The camp in Suan Phueng district holds 900 Burmese students, according to
records held by the ministry and the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees.<br>
Investigators have not established if any Ban Maneeloy students were
involved but believe the raid was the work of a radical armed group at
the border.<br>
More than 100 Ban Maneeloy students rallied at the camp to call on the
dissidents to refrain from violence against people in the embassy.<br>
The camp was sealed to prevent students from leaving and to enable
officials to carry out a head count.<br>
Aung Soe, leader of the Ban Maneeloy students, who was taken to Bangkok
to help negotiate with the dissidents, told police he knew nothing of the
raid. He felt it might have been carried out by a 200-strong group that
broke from the mainstream body in recent months. <br>
