YANGON, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- The truth about Oct. 9 armed attacks in Myanmar's northern Rakhine state is being uncovered, chairman of the Rakhine incident investigation commission U Myint Swe said.
Speaking at a coordination meeting of the commission in Nay Pyi Taw Monday, U Myint Swe, who is also First Vice President, said that the attackers took their time to conspire the deadly attacks since 2012 which was intended to harm the sovereignty of the country.
Noting that the recent attacks were different from the previous ones which took place between the two local communities only, he said the recent attacks were more complicated than any previous conflicts in the state as they are found to be linked with overseas organizations.
U Myint Swe vowed that his commission will go again to the affected areas to find out further information as needed so that the commission can compile a full report, Myanmar News Agency reported Tuesday.
