Foreign diplomats in Rangoon, the capital of Burma, say they are still trying to learn the details of the Burmese government's efforts to prevent what was considered a conspiracy by four relatives of Ne Win, the former dictator of Burma, to stage a coup against the government. It is reported that Ne Win's son-in-law and three of his grandsons have been arrested. The former dictator of Burma, who is now 90 years old, has been placed under house arrest with his wife. The head of the Burmese military intelligence states that the four arrested individuals have confessed to conspiring with unnamed military officers to overthrow the regime. Some diplomats believe that the coup was designed by radical elements of the military associated with the current head of the Burmese military intelligence, who is considered a more moderate manager.
