In a joint operation of Army, police and Ansars (paramilitary force), a terrorist camp of suspected Arakan terrorists was destroyed in the Bandarban forest area on August 26 and huge cache of arms and ammunition including anti-tank grenades, rocket launchers and assault rifles was recovered. A suspected terrorist was also killed and another arrested following the operation, while the rest managed to escape into the forests. The arms recovered included a M-79 rocket launcher, two M-56 grenade launchers, 39 anti-tank grenades, one M-16 assault rifle, a single-barrel gun, a pistol, 388 rounds of ammunition of AK-47, G-3 and M-16 rifles, two walkie-talkies, a radio, combat dresses and backpack. A huge quantity of medicines, a camera and food items were also found from the hideout. The operation was launched reportedly after the terrorists abducted three local youths. Group identity of the terrorists could not be established immediately, however, media reports have indicated that they could be from either Arakan Liberation Party, Arakan Army or National United Party of Arakan. Some local youths are also believed to have been recruited by them. Earlier, the group also allegedly abducted six persons in separate incidents in July and August 2003 for ransom.
