Myanmar cop fire kills Bangladeshi fisherman

Myanmar border guards opened fire on a Bangladeshi fishing boat in the Naf river that divides the countries on Monday, killing one fisherman and injuring two others, police said.

Tensions have been running high since thousands of Rohingya began pouring over the border fleeing a crackdown by the Myanmar army in October, and it is the second time Myanmar forces have fired on Bangladeshi fishermen.

Local police chief Iqbal Hossain said the guards fired on the boat after it allegedly strayed into Myanmar territory on Monday morning.

"Three of the fishermen were injured with bullet wounds.
