The First Post: Envoy fiasco as monks are massacred: "Troops supported by paramilitary thugs launched a pre-dawn raid on the monastery on Sunday, dragging 200 monks from their beds, most of them young novices, lining them up against a wall and smashing their skulls. Reports of the outrage reached London, where a reliable blog site, Ko Htike, run by Burmese students in the British capital, gave a graphic description of the horror. The blog said the raiders 'systematically ordered all the monks to line up and banged and crushed each one's head against a brick wall of the monastery. One by one, the peaceful, non-resisting monks fell to the ground."
The monastery's elderly abbot was tied up, tortured and hit with clubs. He later died from his injuries. Bodies were thrown into army trucks and driven to an unknown destination, eyewitnesses said. "
