NAYPYITAW: Myanmar's junta leader on Monday vowed no letup in his government's crackdown on opponents and said elections would be held, weeks after the military conceded it did not control enough territory to allow a vote.

Myanmar has been in turmoil since the military deposed Aung San Suu Kyi's civilian government more than two years ago after making unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud.
