In Burma, human rights groups say at least 35 civilians were massacred by government forces Friday as they fled fighting in a village in eastern Kayah state. Among the dead were women, children and two staffers with the international aid group Save the Children. Photos from the site showed charred bodies in three burned-out vehicles. The U.N.'s top humanitarian official, Martin Griffiths, condemned the attack and called on Burma's military rulers to protect civilians. Aid groups say a crackdown by government forces has left more than 1,300 people dead since Burma’s military overthrew the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February.
