Ndfb Attack

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today said terrorist group NDFB(S) had direct involvement in yesterday's attack in Kokrajhar district that claimed 13 lives.

Minutes before they gunned down 13 people and injured nearly 20 at the village market in Assam's Kokrajhar on Friday, at least one suspected NDFB (S) terrorist was caught on camera walking causally in the market.

An NIA team today scoured the site and spoke to eyewitnesses of yesterday's terror attack here in which 14 people were killed while a massive combing operation was on to nab the militants of Bodo separatist outfit NDFB(S) suspected to be involved in the strike.

A subtle Chinese hand was suspected in the ambush of 18 soldiers in Manipur on June 4. Trying to connect the dots, investigators have now come up with more evidence of Chinese intelligence dabbling with north-eastern rebel groups.

A journalist of a local Assamese daily was abducted, tortured, shot at and dumped by suspected NDFB(S) terrorists for writing against the outfit, police said today.

As the Dimapur-based 3 Corps bid a final farewell to 18 of their colleagues, investigation into Thursday's attack on an Army convoy in Manipur indicated it was led by Starson Lamkang, a self-styled kilonser or 'minister' of the NSCN(K), along with other valley-based militants.

An National Democratic Front of Bodoland NDFB(S) platoon commander, allegedly involved in the recent attack by the outfit on Adivasis, was killed in an encounter in Assam's Kokrajhar district today, police said.

Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag will today review the situation in Assam where NDFB(S) militants carried out a deadly attack on tribals, leaving over 80 dead.

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today reviewed the current situation in the state and ordered immediate steps for providing relief to people staying at the camps set up after the serial attacks by NDFB(S) militants and retaliatory violence.

The deadly attacks by Bodo militants in Assam have many stories associated with it. On Christmas Eve, when villages in Sonitpur and Kokrajhar districts in northern part of the state were in a celebratory mood, NDFB militant mindlessly attacked the tribal population, killing men, women and even infants.

A 12-hour bandh has been called by tribal organisations in six north Bengal districts tomorrow to protest against the attack and killing of adivasis by National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) in Assam.

Intelligence agencies intercepted the radio message from Bodo militant chief, but forces could not reach in time

Bodo militants launched fresh attacks in Assam's Udalguri district on Wednesday evening, a day after the serial attacks in which over 60 tribals were killed. Calling the attacks an "act of terror," Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who is in Assam, said, "No talks with the militants even if they sue for peace. They will be prosecuted under terror laws"....

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today termed the serial attacks by NDFB(S) on the tribal community across the state as 'most heinous, most cowardly and most barbaric' and said the government will deal with the militant outfit 'very firmly'.

In northern Assam, militants demanding a separate homeland for indigenous Bodo tribesmen went on a killing spree last night. Protesters demonstrating against the killing were fired upon by the police this morning. 70 people have been killed since Tuesday evening. Here are the 10 latest developments:
