A media report quoting intelligence sources has indicated that many Assam government officials, engineers, doctors and businessmen, working in Srirampur and Guwahati, have been regularly paying extortion to the proscribed terrorist outfit United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). Following his arrest in Agartala by security forces and interrogation, a ULFA terrorist, Jayanta Barua alias John Baruah, reportedly divulged names and possible whereabouts of 201 ULFA terrorists, including top leaders and locations of ULFA camps in Bhutan, Bangladesh and other places. Barua also reportedly confessed that he was the 'Quarter Master Incharge' of a camp, located somewhere in Tripura, which is being jointly run by the ULFA and the All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF), providing "urban guerilla training" to the members of both the terrorist outfits. Intelligence sources claim John, who hails from Tamulpur in Nalbari district, was a student of Assam Engineering Institute, before joining the ULFA in 1995. Meanwhile, police have intensified security around him following recent attempts by the ULFA to kill him. Intelligence sources have also ascertained that ULFA runs a transit camp at the Senaibati area in Sherpur district of Bangladesh across the international border in Dhubri district, where logistic support to the ULFA terrorists during their journey into Bangladesh was provided by the terrorists belonging to Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC). It has also been reported that a French human rights activist made a recent visit to Assam to assess the situation in the State at the behest of the ULFA leadership.

A news report on February 21 said that the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) terrorists have started inducting fresh cadres into their ranks in the areas along Assam–Bhutan and Assam–Meghalaya border. The report indicated that ULFA is targeting unemployed youths in these areas for their ‘armed wing’ and also for their ‘political wing’. These recruits, reportedly, are to obtain training in different camps in Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. The report, quoting an anonymous police officer, further said that the ULFA has been compelled to go for fresh recruitment drive because of the ‘major setbacks’ it has received in the counter insurgency operations by the Security Forces. The report also added that the people fear intensified extortion drive in this area, allegedly by this banned terrorist outfit, since it has been facing severe financial crunch due to the same reason.

The United Liberation Front of Asom’s (ULFA) ‘action group’, has asked its cadres to retreat to the camps in Bhutan, indicated media reports on March 29, quoting an intercepted fax message by the Assam police. The reports said recent counter-insurgency operations in which many ULFA terrorists were killed may be the reason behind this move. However, M Mohanraj, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Law and Order, claimed that ULFA may escalate its activities in future and the ‘instructions’ for the same have already been sent to the terrorists in the State. The outfit is already recruiting fresh cadres in parts of Upper and Lower Assam. It is also forcing people to its ranks, he further said. Apart from continuing its extortion activity, the ULFA is also reported to be procuring weapons. Reportedly, a batch of new recruits have already been sent to Bhutan for training. Mohanraj also called the reported closing down of four camps in Bhutan by the ULFA as false and said these were either re-located or the cadres were shifted elsewhere. The ULFA is also in nexus with the Meghalaya-based Achik National Volunteers Council (ANVC) and the Kamatapur Liberation Organization (KLO), he added.

L Singson said, ‘Presently the militants are collecting Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 from each Kuki dominated areas. The amount of donations depend on the size of the villages.’ This was also brought to the notice of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Karbi Anglong in his letter, who has ordered for a red alert in these police stations limits, added the report.

A media report of May 9, quoting police sources, indicated that the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has renewed its attempt to escalate activities in parts of Assam. The ULFA leadership has reportedly initiated steps to regroup the outfit. The local units have been directed to achieve specific targets as far as recruitment of new cadres and ‘fund’ collection are concerned. ULFA allegedly aims to recruit approximately 200 unemployed youths from Sibasagar and 150 from Nagaon. ULFA’s Saraighat Anchalik would collect Rs 2.50 crore, while the Manas Anchalik would have to collect Rs one crore. Changing its earlier strategy of demanding huge amounts, the outfit now is reportedly ready to accept even smaller amounts from businesses. Sources added that ‘deputy commander-in-chief’ of the outfit Raju Baruah allegedly also directed the cadres to attack a few Congressman in the districts of Nalbari and Barpeta .

According to a media report of June 20, approximately 25 Afghanistan-based Al Qaeda terrorists have infiltrated Assam, using its international border with Bangladesh. The incident reportedly occurred in the beginning June 2002. The security forces in Assam have been put on alert following this report. Some Al Qaeda terrorists are allegedly hiding in Bangladesh after the United States (US) security forces commenced operations in Afghanistan to arrest Osama bin Laden. Intelligence sources believe that they may cause subversive activities in collaboration with other Islamist fundamentalist outfits - Islamic United Reformation Protest of India, Muslim United Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA) and Muslim United Liberation Front of Assam (MULFA), among others. However, areas where these terrorists may operate remain unknown thus far. Officials suspect that the presence of these terrorists in India’s Northeast may be part of a larger plan of Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) to further destabilise the country.

According to a report of June 22, the National Democratic Front of Boroland's (NDFB's) top ranking cadres have allegedly stashed away huge amounts of money in various foreign banks. The money, allegedly extorted from local residents, businessmen and even various government departments in Assam was deposited under fake names. The report citing a bulletin published by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) also said its ‘commander-in-chief’ Ranjan Daimari, among others, has amassed huge fortunes. They also reportedly make lavish foreign trips. This also allegedly caused difference of opinion and resentment in the ranks of the outfit over financial mismanagement by its top leaders. The MHA bulletin also revealed that Hilarious Basumatary, one of the NDFB leaders, had alleged that Ranjan Daimari siphoned off an amount of Rs 1.32 crore in 1995-96 to be deposited in foreign banks in his account. To make deposits in foreign banks easier, these leaders convert Indian currency into some foreign currency, the American dollar or the Nepalese Rupee, preferably. The MHA document also said the NDFB had 7,500 US dollars and Rs 4.9 crore in its account in the year 1996-97. The amount increased manifold in subsequent years. The MHA document also cited figures of extortion made by the NDFB. The outfit allegedly extorted Rs 1.35 crore in 1994-95, Rs 2.82 crore in 1995-96 and Rs 4.43 crore in 1996-97 as ‘Bodoland tax’ from various sources, including tea estates, various government departments and non-Bodo traders in Bodo-majority areas of Assam. However, the security forces have largely restricted its activities since 1997 by keeping a vigilant eye on its actions.
