Myanmar Soldiers Fire on Japanese journalist !

The brutal murder of Japanese journalist Kenji Nagai(left) at the hands of the military junta.

Japanese video journalist Kenji Nagai, 50, was shot through his right chest during a military crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations around the Sule Pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar's largest city, the officials said. He likely died instantly, they added...

The official junta news service said that "warning" shots had been fired "over" the crowd.

It was his first visit to Myanmar, and he entered the country with a tourist visa, according to Myanmar's state-run television.

Media says the death toll is much higher than what is being reported during a government crackdown on a democracy demonstration in the Myanmar capital of Yangon.
