Malaysian police detain 15 Burmese over series of gruesome murders | World news | The Guardian: "Authorities had made little comment until now but the state’s police chief was quoted on Friday as saying they now believed the killings were linked to violent clashes between Muslims and Buddhists in Burma. “It was revenge they brought here from their country,” Abdul Rahim Hanafi said, according to the Malay Mail.
Clashes between majority Buddhists and Muslim Rohingya – who the United Nations describe as one of the most persecuted minorities in the world – erupted in 2012 in western Burma.
The violence has led to the deaths of about 200 people and displaced up to 140,000, mostly Rohingya."
