U.N. says Reuters report on Myanmar massacre 'alarming,' need for investigation

The United Nations on Friday described the details of a Reuters investigation into the killing of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar as "alarming" and said it showed the need for a thorough probe into the violence in the country's Rakhine state. This once more attests to the need for a full and thorough investigation by the authorities of all violence in Rakhine State and attacks on the various communities there," U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters.
