By Shwe Yee Saw Myint and Yimou Lee YANGON (Reuters) - The office of Myanmar's civilian president on Wednesday said a former military officer is suspected to have hired the killer of a prominent lawyer advising Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi's ruling party, in a likely bid to destabilize the country. The killing in January came at a time of renewed communal and religious tension in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, where a civilian government led by Suu Kyi has ruled for more than 10 months after a formal transition from decades of military rule. The adviser Ko Ni, 63, was a Muslim lawyer who was shot in the head outside Yangon's international airport in a rare act of political violence that rocked Myanmar's commercial capital.
