SSA burns 1.1 million speed pills
 
The Shan State Army (SSA) South held its third drug bonfire at Loi Kawwan base, opposite Chiangrai at 11:00 this morning.

The ceremony was presided over by Col Yawdserk, the SSA boss, and witnessed by a number of foreign media including The Nation, Bangkok Post and TiTV. The SSA is ready to cooperate with Burma’s military junta in the field of drug suppression, he said, as he put the torch to 1.1 million methamphetamine pills, priced at Baht 38.5 million( $ 1 million) on the Thai-Burma border.

The pills were reportedly seized from the pro-junta militia led by Ja Seu-bo.
