ATTF chief escapes bid on life
2004-01-05
All Tripura Tiger Force supremo Ranjit Debbarma escaped a bid on life in a daring late night attack by unidentified gunman in a posh locality of the Bangladesh capital, Dhaka.
That's too bad. I'm really sorry to hear it.
The incident is considered to be a part of the covert operation launched jointly by police and paramilitary forces to liquidate the rebel leader.
The Indians taking some pointers from Mossad?
According to sources, the attack took place in the safe house of ATTF, located at Shyamali within the city heart and there were reports of heavy casualties on the part of the ATTF rebels. At least nine to ten cadres were reported to have been killed and five injured in the attack. Ranjit, who was present in the safe house at the time the attack too, was also injured and reported to have been admitted to hospital in a critical condition. His deputy Bimal Tripura, who was also with him is also in the hospital.
If he's in critical condition, then he didn't really escape the attempt, did he? Critical condition implies life support, that sort of thing. I do hope it's at least very painful...
Ranjit Debbarma, close to ULFA chief Paresh Barua has been living in Dhaka since he joined the outfit in 1989. By virtue of better educated he rose to the post of Chairman in 1993 after All Tripura Tribal Force under Lalit Debbarma surrendered to join the mainstream. Since then he has been living a luxurious life in Dhaka and possess two fake passports and Toyota car. He is also running a transport business in both Dhaka and Chittagong.
I guess owning a Toyota car is a sign of luxury in Bangladesh...

They're the Bangla version of chick magnets...
