KEY POINTS:
Long ailing Myanmar Prime Minister Soe Win has died and was to be buried at a state funeral early today, official newspapers said last night.
They said the 59-year-old general died on Friday. They gave no cause of death, but he was believed to have been suffering from leukaemia and had been to Singapore several times for treatment.
Soe Win, who replaced the purged Khin Nyunt in 2004, had been out of the political picture for months.
