US 'deeply troubled' by Myanmar violence

The United States said it was "deeply troubled" by Myanmar army air strikes against northern ethnic rebels in the country's Kachin state.

Rebel soldiers fire rockets from an outpost in Myanmar's Kachin state, on September 22, 2012. Fighting between the country's military, known as the Tatmadaw, and the armed wing of the KIO -- the Kachin Independence Organization -- has worsened in recent days as the army battled to regain one of its bases.
