900 Shan rebels surrender
 
Rangoon: July 8
 
Nearly 900 Shan ethnic rebels have surrendered their weapons to Burma's military regime, turning in hundreds of guns, grenades and mines, state media reported on Saturday.
 
All 848 men from a breakaway faction of the Shan State Army relinquished over 800 guns, 55 hand grenades, 63 mines and communication equipment, said the Myanma Ahlin newspaper.
 
Shan rebels began turning in their arms after a government crackdown on Shan organisations, including the arrests of at least a dozen Shan politicians since Feb ruary.
