…The deadly bomb blasts last April took place near the X20 water-throwing pavilion by Rangoon’s Kandawgyi Lake. A senior military officer was amongst those killed, and some residents believe it was an unsuccessful attempt by militant dissidents to assassinate Nay Shwe Thwe Aung, the grandson of Snr-Gen Than Shwe.
