Myanmar helping Indian army: ULFA http://www.northeasttribune.com/6978.htm
NET News Network Guwahati, Jun 8: The Myanmar army is helping India in its offensive against United Liberation Force of Asom (ULFA) in the forests of Arunachal Pradesh. Informing this, Prabal Neog, Commander of ULFA's 28th Battalion claimed that 32 army personnel have lost their lives in this offensive. " We are receiving help from Dragon Force and Naga brothers in our fight against Indian army who is using helicopters," said Neog. Army and Assam rifles have launched major offensive to flush out and nab ULFA cadres taking refuge in and around the Namdapha Reserve Forest in Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh. A large force, exclusively trained for operating in jungles and counter-terrorist operations, is taking part in this operation. Armed with the latest weapons, night-vision devices and other war-like equipment, the security forces have laid the Namdapha Reserve Forest under siege. Helicopters are also extensively being used for aerial reconnaissance and insertion of special teams. Army sources said the military operations in the Manabum Reserve Forest in the Lohit and Changlang districts of the hill state had forced the ULFA cadres to flee to the neighbouring jungles like Namdapha. Combing operations in upper Assam has also forced the ULFA to take shelter in the neighbouring state.
