Burma Army seizes power in bloodless Rangoon coup
Burma defense chief Gen. Ne Win led a second coup in 32 years as the army took over Rangoon. Prime Minister U Nu and ministers were arrested, Parliament suspended, and key communications and transport assets seized. About 10,000 troops and 30 tanks secured key points, flights were halted, and city life proceeded with limited disruption. The move followed opposition to a nationalization plan targeting private import trade and fears of communism.
