Nine Killed In Burmese Crackdown by Mamajama(m): 7:50pm On Sep 27, 2007
Nine people have been killed during Thursday's crackdown on anti-government protesters in Burma's main city of Rangoon, state television says.
The dead included eight protesters and a Japanese man, identified as a video journalist working for APF News - with 11 demonstrators and 31 soldiers hurt.

The deaths came on the 10th day of protests, led by Buddhist monks.

World leaders have renewed calls for sanctions - and the US says it is beginning with 14 top officials.

WIll China intervene?
