Security forces confirm Myanmar ops against NE militants
Times of India | TNN | Sep 9, 2011, 09.36AM IST
Security forces on Thursday confirmed the claim made by Ulfa's faction headed by commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah that the Myanmarese army has launched an offensive against Indian militants holed up in the neighbouring country.
"There are reports of Myanmar launching an offensive against Indian rebels at their unified camp in the Taga area of Kachin region, which is close to Indian territory. This place houses Ulfa's mobile military headquarters and also serves as the base of eight other outfits of Manipur, including the NSCN (K)," a key security official said.
Another source said the Myanmarese army would be successful in flushing out the Indian militants from its soil like Bhutan if it remained committed to the job. "In the past, we have seen Myanmar launching offensive against Indian militants - a pressure tactic to force the outfits cough up huge amount of money for shelter. The bases of militants in Myanmar are well marked by Myanmarese forces and can be easily cleansed."
