Twin 12 year olds lead God's Army after Thai hospital siege
The twin brothers Johnny and Luther Htoo, leaders of the fringe Myanmar rebel group God's Army, reportedly fled through jungle near the Thailand Myanmar border after their headquarters fell to government forces. An adult guerrilla Su Bin heads a split into three bands while seeking Karjom mountain. The group had helped storm a Thai hospital earlier, drawing Thai military action and regional refugee fears. The Karen National Union disavows God's Army though it has provided support and now refugees along the border worry about repercussions from the attack.
