According to official sources, approximately seven persons were killed and about 100 injured on February 6, in a clash between Islamic fundamentalists and security force personnel that erupted for the second day at Brahanbaria in Bangladesh bordering the State of Tripura, India. Most of the injured belonged to the Islamic Oikya Jote (IOJ), an alliance of Islamic fundamentalist outfits, which had enforced the shutdown while demanding the release of several top fundamentalist leaders in Dhaka. The violent incidents are a fall out of the nation wide strike called on February 3, in which a police personnel and two others were killed. The IOJ launched its campaign last week against a December, 2000 High Court verdict banning fatwas ( religious edicts) by Muslim clerics. Meanwhile, the government has constituted a three-member enquiry committee to investigate the incidents. Different political parties and Islamic organisations including Bangladesh National Party (BNP), Jamaat-e -Islami Bangladesh, Islami Oikya Jote and Khelafat Andolan in separate statements have condemned the killings and held the government responsible for the incident.

On March 4, life was paralysed in South Tripura’s Amarpur sub-division by a 12-hour bandh called to protest the March 3-National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) attack on Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. Meanwhile, security forces intensified the manhunt to nab the terrorists. Security forces detained seven people in connection with this terrorist attack in which 13 people, including 11 CRPF personnel, were killed and two jawans critically injured. NLFT terrorists, who used landmines in the attack, also decamped with some sophisticated weapons from the slain jawans. Senior police and paramilitary officials were supervising the combing operation in the extremist dominated areas. Meanwhile, on the same day, two hardcore NLFT terrorists, after escaping from their hideouts in Sylhet district of Bangladesh, surrendered to the police. The rebels, who crossed the border in the Kamalpur area of Dhalai district, also deposited a light machine gun and a huge cache of ammunition. The two surrendered terrorists informed the police that a serious internal feud is brewing within the NLFT.

The Naga Youth Front has called for a bandh (total shut down) in protest against the decision of the Union government to limit its cease-fire with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) to Nagaland.

Left wing extremists, Naxalites of the People’s War Group (PWG), blasted a bottling unit of American soft drink company Coca Cola, at Atmakaru in Guntur district, on October 21. According to official sources no one was injured in the incident but the blast caused extensive damage to the unit. The total loss is estimated at Rs one crore. The Naxalites used three steel cans filled with explosives to destroy a boiler and the transformer room of the factory. A fourth can filled with explosives failed to explode. Had this too gone off, the bottling unit of the factory would have been destroyed. The attack came on the eve of the State-wide strike called by the PWG on October 22 to protest US-led military operations in Afghanistan. The Naxalites reportedly left a note behind which said the move was in protest against the ‘imperialistic actions’ of the US in attacking Afghanistan.
