Lashio continues to be site for Buddhist/Muslim conflict

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22697104

Due to a rumor spread the day before that a Muslim man had doused a Buddhist woman with fuel and set her on fire, many Buddhist youths set to the streets to find Muslim residents to attack. The mobs went on to set fire to many buildings, especially after the police refused to give over the man who was accused of setting fire to the Buddhist woman. At least one person has died due to being 'hacked to death.'
