Burma's military rulers have arrested two members of the opposition National League of Democracy for the bombing of pro-government offices in July.

NLD youth members Yan Shwe and Zaw Zaw Aung were arrested along with activist and former NLD member Myint Aye, who is accused of funding them.

The national police chief Khin Yee says the two NLD members had been attending sessions on bomb making and were in possession of gun-powder and detonators.

He also said that trials are proceeding for 21 pro-democracy activists arrested in August last year for holding rallies that snowballed into mass protests against the regime.
