AP , BANGKOK

A Washington-based exile group linked to the National League for Democracy said Monday that more than 70 people were killed in the initial fight Friday night and a protest the next day.

The National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma also said that according to its information Suu Kyi had suffered a head injury in the confrontation. A spokesman for the group -- which calls itself a government in exile -- told reporters the information came from multiple sources inside Myanmar that have been reliable in the past.
