#3 These special teams will use sophisticated weapons like slipper rifle (galene), assault rifle, travor-21, M-16 assault rifle, MP-5 sub machinegun and MPG-1 slipper rifle. It will also be provided targeting instrument, laser crowdy and night vision equipment in the border areas, sources said.

MPG-1 slipper rifle = shudder gun

laser crowdy = heard-em-up-Zilla-lite

#9 If this report is accurate, then apparently India is having a problem with Islamofasists crossing from Bangladesh. This would be an escalation of activities on India's Bangladesh border. There's more happening there than we know about.

#10 The "illegal immigrants" from Bangla are a HUGE problem for India. That region has been a hotbed of various ethnic and tribal movements and now the Islamofascists are in the mix.

India enjoyed poking Pakistan in the eye by supporting the creation of Bangladesh, but now finds itself hoist on its own petard. Bangla may be even more Islamofascist than Pakistan.

The Chicoms and our friend from Burma also have several fingers in the pie in this region.

#12 Weren't there several articles here on Rantburg about Bangladeshis moving the border markers and taking small chunks of India a few months ago? Maybe this is India's way of "correcting the alignment errors".
