WASHINGTON - The results of a United Nations investigation released on Monday add to a "growing body of information indicating widespread human rights abuses" by Myanmar's security forces against Rohingya Muslims, a spokesman for the US State Department said.

However, the United States would only decide whether genocide or crimes against humanity had been committed "after a thorough review of the available facts and relevant legal analysis," the spokesman said.

In a report issued earlier on Monday, UN investigators said Myanmar's military carried out mass killings and gang rapes of Rohingya with "genocidal intent" and the commander-in-chief and five generals should be prosecuted for the gravest crimes under international law.
