Arms, ammo recovered at Rangamati
2006-02-19
RANGAMATI, Feb 19: Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) of Marishsha Zone in a drive last night in Baghaichhari upazila of the district recovered two foreign made arms and several rounds of ammunition, security sources said, reports BSS. The recovered arms include two Chinese made 0.315 rifles and nine bullets, sources added.

The sources said four BDR patrol teams led by Marishsha Zone commander Lt. Col. GM Azizur Rahman and Captain Mohammed Shafiul Alam cordoned a camp in the deep forest, about 150 kilometers from Rangamati township, at around 8-45pm.

Sensing the presence of BDR members, miscreants numbering about 8 to 10 managed to flee run away run like scalded dogs escape from the scene leaving the arms and ammunition, the sources said and identified the offenders as members of the United Peoples Democratic Front (UPDF), an anti CHT accord organization comprised of tribal members.
Not an Islamist movement either, are they?
BDR handed over the recovered arms and bullets to Baghaichhari upazila police and filed an arms case in this connection.
