On Thursday, the military saw fit to buzz the city of Mandalay with low-flying fighter jets in an attempt to intimidate marchers - who turned out none-the-less. After weeks of tense standoffs, police unleashed a bloodbath on Wednesday when officers in cities around the country opened fire on marchers largely without warning, leaving at least 38 dead. The total death toll since the February 1 coup now stands at more than 50. A utility official later said it was due to a system failure. The election commission said the vote was fair.
