The banned ULFA is planning strikes ahead of March 16, which it calls its `army day', intelligence sources claimed here on Tuesday. The ULFA has planned a series of strikes on security men and public installations on that date, the day the insurgent outfit "raised its own army" in 1979, the sources said. Cadres have fanned out to remote areas and have planned bomb and grenade attacks in various parts of the state, they said.
Usually, the outfit marked the day in "a big way", but following the Bhutan operations, the occasion has been made a low-key affair, sources said. However, the day will be observed in various camps of the outfits in the jungles of Bangladesh and Myanmar. |
