PS: I know "militant Buddhist" may sound to many almost like a contradiction in terms. However, if you look at what the Buddhist majority has done to the Muslim minority in Myanmar, then it doesn't sound nearly as strange.

It's a new day with updates on the investigation. Unfortunately, the scope of the tragedy expands, but some sense of relief might be taken in the devises and plots the were subsequently stopped.
