Burmese attack ? a major blow to North East militants
By Our Correspondent
Mizzima News (www.mizzima.com)
Guwahati, Nov. 18: Indian Army has intensified operations along the
Indo-Burma Border in the aftermath of a series of raids carried out by
Burmese Army on the hide-outs of the United National Liberation Front
(UNLF), a Manipur insurgent organization. The raids have been going on
for the last one-week to flush out the ultras taking shelter in eastern
Burma. During the raids the Burmese Army recovered a huge cache of arms
and ammunition, gold, tractors, and incrimination documents.
Highly placed Indian official sources said that it was a major blow to
the militants of the North East India who are under going training in
the different hideouts of the country.
"During the operation over 300 members of various rebel groups were
nabbed by the Burmese Army causing a major problem for the insurgent
outfits", sources said. Giving the rationale behind the attack, they
expressed the view that the attack could be a retaliation of the Burmese
army as its several members were killed by a separatist group recently
along the Indo-Burma border.
They further revealed that according to reports about 1200 SLRs meant
for the United Liberation Front Asom (ULFA) were also seized. "The UNLF
in association with the Chin Liberation Army has been supplying arms and
ammunition to the several revel groups of the North East India", sources
said.
Meanwhile the ULFA said that it was a complete security lapse on the
part of UNLF resulting in loss of a huge cache of arms and ammunition.
It is learnt that the ULFA and the UNLF had reached an agreement last
month for supplying of 1000 SLRs to carry on military operations for
which the underground group had spent a huge some of money.
