This report is Impossible to verify but probably false
and is of
Low Priority.
Here is why -
A document communicating between government ministries was leaked and spread on social media in July. The document included statements that RSO (Rohingya Solidarity Organisation) was collaborating with Islamic extremist groups to target government offices and Rakhine residences with explosions and to behead Rakhine civil servants.
The attack was said to be launched after 19th July, after the Islamic holy month Ramadan. Extremists in Burma spread a rumour from their social media accounts that Islamic terrorists from Bangladesh were staying at Pan Hlaine Residence, Kyi Myint Tine Township, Rangoon.
Later police discoveered that it was false information. According to the immigration department there are seven Bangladeshis staying at the similar address but they are working for Telenor Telecommunication Company and entered Burma with valid passports and visas. Hatred against minority religions is widespread on social media and the authorities rarely take any action against the rumours.
