US embassy cable - 03RANGOON1160

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) Sources in Rangoon have offered support for a BBC report 
from September 18th that National League for Democracy leader 
Aung San Suu Kyi was taken to a private Rangoon clinic late 
on September 17th.  According to these sources, she was taken 
to the clinic for a routine outpatient gynecological 
procedure.  The sources agreed with the BBC's reporting that 
the procedure was completed without complications.  We were 
unable to ascertain for certain whether ASSK had been 
released from the hospital or whether she was still 
recovering there.  A close associate of ASSK's said that a 
medical "bulletin" updating her condition would be released 
widely on September 19th.
