| 2011-11-04 |
| Both factions of the Ulfa rebels, pro- and anti-talks, are seriously worried about the fresh search operations launched by Dhaka at hideouts and houses of Ulfa leaders in Bangladesh. Disclosing that security forces in Bangladesh have recovered a huge quantity of sophisticated weapons from hideouts used by Ulfa leaders before their arrest, security sources said that leaders of the pro-talks faction of Ulfa were very concerned about the search operations in Bangladesh. Informing that the search operations were aimed at recovering missing weapons, security sources said that Dhaka had specific inputs on Ulfa rebels having sophisticated weapons, which were hidden at different locations. Even after their arrest these weapons could not be recovered, security sources said, adding that the recent operation was to trace all the missing weapons. About tension and concern noticed among the pro-talks faction of Ulfa leaders, security sources said that in hurriedly carried out operations, security forces had not been able to investigate the links and activities of Ulfa rebels in Bangladesh. Security sources pointed out that fresh operations were launched in Bangladesh also to trace the links of Ulfa rebels and their involvement in other activities. Pointing out that top Ulfa leader Antu Chawdang, who was driven out after his arrest in Bangladesh, was holding a lot of weapons of Ulfa but that the arms were missing even after his arrest, sources said that security forces in Bangladesh were worried about these arms falling into the hands of radical forces. |
