Fire bombs gut Myanmar's Malaysia embassy
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Petrol bombs thrown by angry Myanmar refugees gutted the country's embassy in the Malaysian capital,
injuring several people.
"It's burnt through the entire building," said a Reuters journalist, who added the two-storey structure remained standing.
State news agency Bernama, citing security sources, said several people were injured in the attack.
A police source said Myanmar Muslim Rohingyas threw at least two petrol bombs at the building, which witnesses at the scene said
followed an argument with embassy staff.
