Imphal, September 13 2012:
ARMED CADRES of the proscribed Revolutionary People's Front (RPF) attacked the office of Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) located at Langol here with bomb in the wee hours today.
The bomb was hurled from outside and it exploded near the wall of the office.
A portion of the wall has been crumbled down in the impact of the blast.
No one was hurt in the incident.
Claiming responsibility for the bomb attack, Secretary Publicity of RPF T Leisemba said that the bomb blast that shook the office of RAW located under Lamphel Police Station at around 2 am today was carried out by its armed wing People's Liberation Army (PLA) as a warning to the operation of RAW in Manipur as well as intimation of RPF's sensitivity of the entire operation of RAW in the state which aims at dismantling the network of revolutionary organisations.
Leishemba asserted that RAW has been taking an active role in arresting leaders of various revolutionary organizations.
They are gathering intelligence reports on the present socio-economic condition of the state, law and order situation, activities of the revolutionary organisations and forwarding the same to the Prime Minister's Office regularly.
They are trying to establish a strong network of intelligence units in the state.
However, RPF and its armed wing PLA will never let them succeed in their mission, the statement added.
The statement further warned all the employees from state working in RAW office not to come forward and take up active roles in the activities of the agency and said that they should understand that the war of RPF and its armed wing PLA is only against India government and its machineries.
