Burma's coup leader Ne Win seizes control of Burma
RANGOON Burma AP Gen Ne Win seized control of the government after a swift army coup. The capital remained calm as tanks and armed convoys patrolled streets. Ne Win formed a revolutionary council with seven ministries, while civilian Nu supporters were guarded. Li Thihn Han became foreign affairs minister, Ang Gyi as trade and industries minister, and Nu’s cabinet faced limited access to power. The move aims to halt disintegration amid nonalignment policy questions and rising leftist influence.
