Rebels blow up gas, oil pipelines in IndiaÂ’s Assam | |
2006-06-11 | |
The militants blew up a pipeline carrying crude oil from a drilling site in the stateÂ’s Duliajan area, and a gas pipeline in the town of Digboi, 400 km (250 miles) east of Guwahati, the stateÂ’s main city. They also hurled a grenade at a house of a local politician, hurting six people, including two children, officers said. Police blamed the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), the most powerful rebel group among the northeastÂ’s many insurgencies, for the market bombing and for a series of grenade attacks on Thursday that wounded at least 20 people. No group has claimed responsibility for the explosions. | |

#1 The transformation of the UFLA to an organization that supports the illegal immigration of millions of muslim Bangladeshi immigrants into the Indian north-east is quite interesting. Assamese will be a minority in their own territory and any redisual separatist goals the UFLA still has will be impossible. Guess the ISI money talks.. |
