That's a headline you don't see everyday! It certainly seems to go against the whole peaceful Buddhist thing. I wonder what the monks who wouldn't kill the fire ants would say.
Buddhist monks have taken about 20 members of the security forces hostage in central Burma, a day after clashes at a protest rally.
On Wednesday the security forces fired shots into the air to disperse some 400 monks demonstrating in Pakokku town.
When officials came to the monastery on Thursday, the monks locked them inside and set their vehicles on fire.
A series of anti-government protests have been held since the military junta doubled fuel prices last month.
