Afghan hardened Jehadis for NE

Guwahati, Nov 02 (UNI) Asom Deputy General of Police D N Dutta today said Afghanistan hardened Bangladeshi Jehadis have been sent to destabilise India's North East region.

DGP Dutta disclosed this at the two day conclave of all the DGP's of the NE region. The conclave was attended by the top officials from West Bengal and Sikkim Home ministry and BSF officials.

Asom Police Intelligence chief Khagen Sharma here today said Jamtul Mujahadieen had been given the responsibility to carry out the operation to destabilise the NE region.

''These Jehadis have gone to Afghanistan to join the Taliban and returned back after the US intervention. They were the mastermind behind the serial blasts in Bangladesh recently, '' Mr Sharma said.

DGP Dutta said they were in consensus that intelligence must be shared fast between the police forces to check and stop the cross border terrorism in the region.

The annual conference deliberated upon the insurgency problem of the region and its adjoining areas, export of Muslim fundamentalism, terrorism to the NE with focussed attention in the role of foreign agencies and the problem of cross border insurgency with special reference to Bangladesh, Bhutan and Myanmar, sources said.

The Army also interacted with the DGP's to evolve an effective strategy to deal the insurgent activities here.
