Suspected ULFA militants attack Assam Rifles personnel

At around 7.30 am,an Assam Rifles vehicle with its personnel was escorting a school bus carrying children of the Kendriya Vidyalaya at Nazira when the militants lobbed the grenade at them at Kenduguri.

The grenade,however,exploded at a distance away from the school bus and escort vehicle without hitting them.

Kenduguri is about three kms away from the house of ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa,who is out on bail,and is involved in peace talks with the Centre.

Police sources said a group of anti-talk ULFA militants under the leadership of Pradip Gogoi had sneaked into Sibsagar district through the porous Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh inter-state border for setting up a camp here to resort to subversive activities.
