‘Myanmar escaped worst of tsunami’
PHUKET: Satellite photographs suggest Myanmar escaped the worst ravages of the Indian Ocean tsunami, US Secretary of State Colin Powell said on Tuesday. “Based on the information I received earlier today - an examination of satellite photographs taken earlier in the week - suggests that Burma was not hit as (hard as) other nations in the region,” he said, referring to Myanmar by its former name. But Powell said he had no idea whether Myanmar’s military rulers were telling the truth when they said the tsunami - which killed 150,000 people elsewhere - killed only 59 people. reuters
