The Army claimed that the ‘28th Battalion’ of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) were trained at camps in Myanmar, reports Hindustan Times. The battalion, with an estimated strength of 350-plus, had masterminded and executed some of the worst massacres in upper Assam, including the latest serial killings of Hindi-speaking migrants. "It also serves as the nerve centre of ULFA for planning kidnappings and extortion," said a senior officer of HQs 2 Mountain Division, showing a ransom note for INR 30 lakh addressed to a tea estate manager and signed by the self-styled ‘lieutenant’ Prabal Neog. The report stated that 15 ULFA cadres, including improvised explosive device (IED) experts, were eliminated in counter-insurgency operations. The recent recoveries indicated that the militants have access to universal machine guns, Chinese pistols, AK-47s, Austrian grenades, plenty of cash, RDX and IEDs. An unnamed Lieutenant Colonel, while speaking about the Army's ability to generate intelligence, said "but people in the hinterland are sometimes non-cooperative". The ‘27th’ and ‘109th battalions’ are also active in Assam, said the report.

"This was more apparent after we received confession of an arrested ULFA cadre, stating that seven of her aids were hiding in and around the city….The lower rung of the ULFA suspects that top rung had come to some sort of monetary understanding with the Government to withdraw the boycott call during the National Games. Although there is no veracity but to keep the flock united the ULFA will restart attack," said the sources by adding, "We must admit that, in the last couple of years, the Intelligence has been poor and we do not even have profiles of ULFA mid rung leaders."

Two Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) cadres, Lord Canning Thongni and Everywell Leroy, who surrendered in Shillong on February 20, confessed that they used to hand over the extortion money to a Bangladeshi national, Abdus Salam, according to Shillong Times. Police suspect that the top HNLC leaders are using Bangladeshi nationals as couriers to bring extortion money, since they had lost faith in the lower rung cadres. Superintendent of Police of the East Khasi Hills district, A. R. Mawthoh, said that around 130 militants had so far surrendered in East Khasi Hills. "More and more cadres are leaving the outfit as the extorted money has been pocketed by the top leaders," Mawthoh added.

The report stated that ULFA is “hedging its bets in order to protect its militant and business operations in Bangladesh, should either party win”. The report added that Paresh Barua has business operations throughout India, Bangladesh and the Persian Gulf, “including hotels, consulting firms, driving schools, tanneries, department stores, textile factories, travel agencies, investment companies, shrimp trawlers and soft drink factories”.

The level of violence in Assam has increased considerably in the last three years primarily due to violence perpetrated by the ULFA, reports Assam Tribune. According to security agencies, the number of such incidents is increasing gradually in the last three years. The outfit triggered off more than 50 bomb and grenade blasts in different parts of the State. In 2005, only 19 civilians, three security force (SF) personnel and 10 militants were killed. In 2006, the violence increased with more than 160 incidents of violence, in which more than 80 civilians, 14 SF personnel and six ULFA militants were killed. In 2007 (till date), more than 100 civilians were killed and 280 were injured. Three SF personnel and five ULFA militants were also killed in encounters this year. The level of violence involving the Karbi Longri N.C. Hills Liberation Front (KLNLF) and Black Widow group, a breakaway faction of the Dima Halim Daoga (DHD), in the hill districts of Karbi Anglong and North Cachar Hills also showed an upward trend. According to records available, the Black Widow group was involved in 10 acts of violence last year and it increased to 17 so far this year. The KLNLF militants were involved in more than 10 major acts of violence so far in 2007.

Police sources said that the Black Widow, a breakaway faction of the Dima Halim Daogah (DHD), is trying to extend its area of operation to the northeastern flank of neighbouring Cachar district, reports Telegraph. Sources also revealed that nearly two dozen people living in the Harinagar and Jaipur enclaves along Cachar’s northeastern boundary with North Cachar had received extortion notices. The notices, either sent by post or hand-delivered, demand amounts between INR 50,000 and INR 5 lakh. The residents have been also threatened with dire consequences if they fail to pay the said amount. According to Sentinel, intelligence reports revealed that over 20 jihadi groups, including the Adam Sena, Muslim Tigers’ Force, Revolutionary Muslim Commandos, United Muslim Front of Assam, Islamic United Reformation Movement of India, Islamic Sevak Sangha, Muslim Security Force, Muslim Liberation Army of Assam, United Liberation Militia of Assam, Muslim Security Council of Assam, Muslim United Liberation Front of Assam, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), Harkat-ul-Jehad and People’s United Liberation Front (PULF), have been active in Assam. Activists of these organizations have been taking shelter in the border areas, seminaries, mosques and other religious minority-dominated areas in the State. Sources added, "These organizations recruit local youths and send them for arms training to foreign countries. With the change of guard in Bangladesh, United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) leaders who have taken shelter in that country, including ULFA chief Paresh Baruah, were forced to back the Islamic state blueprint prepared by Pakistan’s ISI and Bangladesh’s Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI). The mysterious silence of ULFA leaders on burning issues like unchecked infiltration from Bangladesh and expulsion of Bangladeshis from Assam is a glaring example of ULFA going soft on jehadi groups sponsored by forces based in Bangladesh".

Sources said that the ULFA lost several cadres in the recent operations like Operation Blazing Khukri and Operation Blooming Orchid. After the operation in Bhutan in 2003, 1,500 sq km of Manabhum forest in Arunachal Pradesh’s Lohit district has emerged as the outfit’s main area of operation. Presently, around 100 women cadres are reportedly being trained in fresh camps set up by the group inside Bhutan. The ULFA is also carrying on its recruitment drive but the training of its cadres is constrained due to shortage of permanent bases. Sources said that Chakma refugees, settled since decades in Arunachal Pradesh, have started providing logistic support to the ULFA. There are also reports of Chakma settlers being enrolled by the ULFA, and also being recruited by other militant groups active in the Tirap-Changlang-Lohit belt in Arunachal Pradesh, mainly the NSCN-IM and the NSCN-K. Sources said that as many as 176 training camps of Indian militants are in Bangladesh. The ULFA leads the list with the highest number of training camps – 38 within the terror belt which stretches from Sherpur district in the north, bordering West Garo Hills in Meghalaya, to Cox Bazaar in the south near Myanmar.

Times Now reports that the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) has stepped up efforts to strengthen its base in the northeastern region along the India-Myanmar border. SIMI has been trying to tie up with Manipur-based outfits and especially the Peoples' United Liberation Front (PULF), an organization of indigenous Muslims of Manipur called Pangals. P. K. Mishra, an Inspector General of Police in the Border Security Force, said, "Our first and foremost duty is to cover the Indo-Myanmar border, without covering our border any amount of counter-insurgency operations inside the border areas won't serve any purpose." The report further indicated that SIMI's presence in the north-eastern region could pose a grave threat since several jihadi outfits with similar ideologies are already active on both sides of the border.

According to Assam Tribune, 68 militants, including 66 United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and two Adivasi National Liberation Army (ANLA) cadres, surrendered to the security forces in a surrender ceremony at the firing range of the 4 Assam police Battalion Headquarters at Kahilipara in the Guwahati city on November 1. The surrendered ULFA cadres comprised four ‘sergeant majors’ and six ‘sergeants’, including Bipul Neog alias Ujjal Gohain. Four women, including ‘sergeant major’ Tulshi Rabha alias Malati Santosh, were among the surrendered cadres. Eight AK-56 rifles, five pistols, ten revolvers, a single-shot pistol, 11 No. 36 grenades, 16 Chinese grenades, eight AK-56 magazines, 145 rounds of AK-series ammunition, 55 rounds of 9-mm ammunition, four rounds of .22 ammunition, an RT set, three electronic detonators, five No. 36 grenade detonators, three gelatine sticks, five kg RDX, a packet of Cordex wire, an RPG cell and five PTD switch were deposited by the cadres. The militants revealed that the surrender was because of a growing dissension and disillusionment among the ULFA cadres, which, according to them, had made them part with the outfit. Bhaskar Bora, a ‘sergeant’ of the ULFA from Tinsukia district, said, "The revolutionary ideals of the ULFA, which drew me to the outfit, are as good as non-existent now. There is an all-pervasive depression and gloom among the cadres due to the complete absence of internal democracy in the outfit’s functioning. The ULFA is running out of time to reform it and restore internal democracy." The Inspector General of Police (Special Branch), Khagen Sharma, said that 13,269 militants, including 8718 of the ULFA, had surrendered since 1991.

Shillong Times quoting Meghalaya Police source reports that the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) was using women as its agents to extort money from places where the finance wing of the organisation failed to penetrate. "Even after the arrest of a few women who worked for the HNLC in the past, some women are still helping the outfit in collecting money in Shillong and Dawki in Jaintia Hills," a senior unnamed police official said on November 4. He said that before going on extortion drive, the women made ‘missed calls’ to top HNLC leaders based in Bangladesh, who helped them with ways and means to negotiate the amount. A prepaid mobile phone having a balance of INR 800 to INR 900 was reportedly used by the women to send "missed calls" to Bangladesh, mentioned the police officer. The report added that the arrest of a woman, Velvet Rose Jana, who accompanied HNLC militants to assassinate HS Shylla, the Chief Executive Member of the KHADC, in August 2007, revealed that she had extorted money on behalf of the outfit from businessmen. She confessed to have worked in tandem with her husband, Tome Jones Rynjah, to spread the activities of the HNLC including extortion in Shillong. Police had arrested the couple from Mawlai Syllaikriah locality of Shillong for their role in leading the HNLC cadres to the house of Shylla. According to A.R. Mawthoh, the Superintendent of Police of the West Khasi Hills district, the HNLC courier recently sent INR 400, 000 to Bobby Marwein, the ‘commander-in-chief’ of the outfit, based in Bangladesh.

The Justice K.N. Saikia Commission has indicted the former Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, the then police hierarchy and the Home Ministry for the “extra-constitutional killings” which occurred in Assam during 1998-2001, according to The Hindu. “There is enough evidence to show that the then Home Minister was at the helm of these extra-constitutional killings,” the one-man Commission said. Mahanta, who was heading the Asom Gana Parishad-led government, was also Home Minister during this period. The report of the Commission, constituted by the State government to probe the “secret killings” of family members of leaders and cadres of the proscribed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), was tabled in the Legislative Assembly by Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on November 15. About the motive behind the “secret killings,” the Commission said it was “perpetuation of the Asom Gana Parishad rule by villainy, treachery and monstrous cruelty and dangerous propensity.” The Commission recommended to the government “to try to first keep in abeyance, and then gradually dismantle” the Unified Command structure of the Army, the Assam police and the Central paramilitary forces as an immediate measure to prevent recurrence of such killings. The government also tabled the preliminary report of the Justice J.N. Sharma Commission, constituted prior to the setting up of the Saikia Commission. Justice Sharma said he was not able to identify the killers and accomplices, and pinpoint responsibility.
