[...] The cause of Lamo's death, confirmed to the BBC by the Sedgwick County coroner in Kansas, has not yet been made public.
[...] Wikileaks founder Julian Assange on Friday described Lamo as a "petty conman and betrayer of basic human decency".

Good thing the Buddhists put an end to the muslums trying to kill them in their own country. Islam for you. Move into another country then try to take over. If the locals resist cry racism until they are forced to stop. Then continue murdering and raping the locals.
Muslims tried to start ethnic cleansing in Burma. They failed. Now they are paying the price for waging war. Expect to see this happen again again as they move into other peoples territory.
