Paresh Baruah banks on PLA, jihadi elements
Times of India | Prabin Kalita, TNN | Jul 19, 2011, 11.51pm IST
With the major chunk of Ulfa (pro-talks) led by Arabinda Rajkhowa arriving at a unilateral ceasefire ahead of the final peace talks with the Centre, the striking strength of the hardliner Ulfa faction has been greatly diminished. Now, the outfit's c-in-c, Paresh Baruah, who is opposed to the talks, is engaging hardened cadres of Manipur-based PLA and jihadi elements to garner the strength to strike back in the coming weeks.
The security agencies have learnt that the two groups that have entered the state have sophisticated weapons and 50% of the Ulfa cadres in each group are new recruits and are not well trained. "The targets are very specific - oil installations, particularly pipelines, railway oil tankers and security forces. The group that has entered Tinsukia has about 30 men divided into smaller groups that are concentrating only in the district, where the situation is quite grave," security agencies said.
