Yangon Police say IS terrorist warning is fake

Yangon Police announced on their Facebook page today that a flyer claiming to reveal the identity of a member of the Islamic State is a fake.

The original image of the flyer, posted by a Facebook account using the name “Thein Kyaw”, shows photos of a young man and claims that the man is a member of IS and is in Yangon.

The flyer asks members of the public to call 01- 2317526 or 01-2317527 if they see the “terrorist.”

The Yangon Police announcement said the information in the flyer is not based on real police information, and the phone numbers on the flyer are not correct.

So don’t report that guy.
