Senior Myanmar official on US sanctions list dies at 74


Yangon - An influential Myanmar legislator and businessman on the US sanctions blacklist died from complications after suffering a stroke, sources said Thursday.


Aung Thaung, 74, was minister of industry for 14 years under the military junta that ruled the country for decades until 2011.


He was a hardliner in the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party, which is led by former military officers.


The US government blacklisted Aung Thaung in October for allegedly undermining economic and political reforms. It froze his US-based assets and barred US citizens from doing business with him.


He was accused of involvement in the 2003 Depayin massacre, during which opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her convoy were assaulted in central Myanmar and dozens of supporters were killed.
