Two members of the international humanitarian group Save the Children are missing after Myanmar government troops rounded up villagers, some believed to be women and children, fatally shot more than 30 and burned the bodies, according to a witness and other reports. He did not see the moment they were killed, but said he believed some of them were Moso villagers who were reportedly arrested by troops on Friday. Myanmar’s independent media reported on Friday that 10 Moso villagers, including children, were arrested by the army. The witness said the villagers and anti-government militia groups left as military troops arrived near Moso while the bodies were being prepared for cremation. Earlier this month, government troops were also accused of rounding up villagers, some believed to be children, tying them up and slaughtering them.
