Intelligence reports have said that a huge consignment of explosives and dozens of small arms has been transhipped into Assam by the ULFA from Bangladesh a week back, Sentinel reports. The reports also revealed that the shipment included highly-sophisticated remote control devices like those used by the Islamist militants to carry out the blasts at Hyderabad and Ajmer Sharif in 2007. These devices will enable ULFA to carry out explosions through signals from mobile handsets. The consignment has reportedly been received by ULFA ‘commander’ of lower Assam, Hira Sarania, from the courier from Bangladesh.

The report of the judicial inquiry headed by Justice (retd) R. K. Manisana Singh which was tabled in the Assam Legislative Assembly on April 2 stated that the All Adivasi National Liberation Army (AANLA) outfit incited a section of the protestors to assault residents and damage vehicles, roadside shops and houses in Beltola in Guwahati on November 24, according to Telegraph. The Manisana Singh report confirmed that some of the protestors came with weapons at the behest of the AANLA leadership. Witnesses were quoted as saying that an AANLA leader, Bikash Munda, gave INR 20,000 to a senior functionary of the All Adivasi Students’ Association of Assam to organise the rally for Scheduled Tribe status. "There was, prima facie, a case of conspiracy among some of the Adivasis at the instigation of the ANLA," Manisana Singh said in his report. The judicial inquiry revealed that administrative ineptness was also responsible for the November 24 Adivasi protest march turning into the worst instance of street rioting in Assam.

Maulvi Bazaar district in Bangladesh has become the biggest hideout for militant groups operating in Northeast India, reports Times of India. Apart from other districts of Bangladesh, Maulvi Bazar has figured prominently in the revised list of 117 camps which Border Security Force (BSF) provided to the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) during the recent border coordination conference of the two countries in New Delhi. Maulvi Bazaar - which is flanked by Assam and Tripura from two sides - comprises nearly one-fourth of the total camps located in Bangladesh. Main hideouts in Maulvi Bazar are reportedly at Narsurpunji, Ragichera, Rajki Tea Estate and Avalchera under Kulaura police station, Bagerhat under Dighinala police station, Puranbari, Kalengipunji and Dabalchera under Kamal Ganj police station, Dulubari under Srimangal police station, Segan Bagan under Sajek police station, and Nine Mile under Matiranga police station. The report added that Habibganj, Khagrachari, Rangamati, Chittagong and Sylhet are other districts where Indian intelligence agencies have pin-pointed locations of training camps - some of which are being run with the help of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) to train the cadre of Harkat-ul-Jehad-al-Islami (HuJI). Referring to the latest list of training camps which has come down from 141 to 117 in the past two years, an unnamed senior official of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs said that though most of the camps were meant to provide training to Northeast militant groups – the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and People's Liberation Army (PLA) - some of them in Maulvi Bazaar and Habibganj had been identified as main hideouts of the HuJI cadres. "India has prepared the list on the basis of its own intelligence as well as after taking into account the details provided by a number of terrorists arrested along the border and elsewhere in India," the official said.

The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has changed its extortion strategy, reports Sentinel. Instead of issuing written extortion notes, the outfit is demanding a huge amount of cash from the businessmen of upper Assam by sending SMS through mobile phones. The report added that when the security forces were conducting counter-insurgency operations in upper Assam, cadres of the ‘28th battalion’ of the ULFA led by self-styled ‘commander’ Bijay Chinese were sending SMS to a number of businessmen of upper Asom demanding amounts ranging from INR 10 00000 to INR 50 00000.

Imphal Free Press quoting Manipur Government source reports that Yunan province of China is the main originating point of the arms and ammunition found in Manipur and the main routes used for transporting it are Thailand-Myanmar border through Kachin state and Kalemyo-Tamu in Myanmar and then onwards to Ukhrul district. Arms and ammunition are also being smuggled into Manipur through various routes, such as via Kasom Khullen, Moreh, New Somtal and Behiang. The Manipur Government also indicated that a decision was taken during the recent Home Secretary level talks between Myanmar and India for a coordinated joint operation by the Myanmar army and Indian security forces.

India was among the countries worst affected by terrorism with militant attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and in the Northeast, attacks by Naxalites and attacks elsewhere in the country taking a toll of more than 2,300 lives in 2007, the US State Department said, according to PTI. The State Department, in its annual report on terrorism, said terrorist activities along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir are on the decline but Pakistan-based militant outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and other terrorist groups continue to plan attacks in the Valley. "Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba and other Kashmir-focused groups continued regional attack planning. In 2007, Kashmir-focused groups continued to support attacks in Afghanistan, and operatives trained by the groups continued to feature in Al-Qaeda transnational attack planning," it said. The report said Indian Government’s counter terrorism efforts remained hampered by outdated and overburdened law enforcement and legal systems. "The Indian court system was slow, laborious, and prone to corruption. Terrorism trials can take years to complete. Many of India’s local police forces were poorly staffed, lacked training, and were ill-equipped to combat terrorism effectively," the report said. Noting about the attack on Samjhauta Express in February 2007, the report said it was carried out by extremists who tried to incite anger among the Hindus and Muslims. "These attacks, which killed and injured both Muslims and Hindus, were probably conducted by extremists hoping to incite anger between the Hindu and Muslim communities. "Indian officials claim that the perpetrators of these attacks have links to groups based in Pakistan and Bangladesh, particularly Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, and Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami, among others," the report said. The report also took note of the US-India Joint Working Group on Terrorism (CTJWG) which has so far met nine times since its formation in 2000. India participated in CTJWGS with 15 other countries, and in multilateral CTJWGS with the EU and with the Bay of Bengal initiative for multi-sectoral technical and economic cooperation, an organisation that promotes economic cooperation among Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bhutan and Nepal.

Intelligence sources said on May 31 that seven former Naga insurgents, who deserted the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN–IM) and National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Khaplang (NSCN-K), continued to maintain links with the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) and Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) to extort money from coal exporters and other traders in the coal belts of West Khasi Hills and Garo Hills, reports Shillong Times. "The Naga men normally go back to their State after collecting huge amount of money through extortion in Meghalaya," the sources said. Intelligence sources also said that former NSCN cadres involved in extortion in Meghalaya were planning to form a new militant outfit that could be more powerful than the NSCN-IM and NSCN-K. Many coal exporters from and outside the State have incurred huge losses due to the ongoing extortion drive jointly launched by cadres of the NSCN, HNLC and LAEF. Militants’ threat is reported to have forced several coal exporters to leave the coal belt areas recently. There were reports that the Tripura-based National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) was supporting the HNLC's extortion drive in the district where coal exporters and managers of various cement plants were made to pay money to militants.

According to Telegraph, the Union Government has received intelligence reports indicating that cadres of the ‘Bravo Company’ of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) are ready to return to Assam. They currently remain in camps in Myanmar. Sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the militants while trying to return to Assam face a transit problem since the transit route from Myanmar to India across Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh are controlled by the Naga outfits. The National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) runs camps along the India-Myanmar border. "It essentially means they cannot come back without the help of the Khaplang faction of the NSCN," a source said.
