Asom attack ''dastardly acts of terrorism'': ACHR

New Delhi, Nov 6 (UNI) The Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) today condemned ULFA attacks in Asom yesterday, saying they are ''dastardly acts of terrorism''.

''The deliberate acts of targeting civilians violate provisions of international humanitarian laws and all armed opposition groups must ensure respect for these laws,'' ACHR Director Suhas Chakma said.

He said no political ideology could justify such ''acts of terrorism'' which target innocent civilians.

''The killings are premeditated and the explosives were planted ... to cause maximum loss of human lives and damage to public properties.'' he added.

ACHR demanded that compensation be paid to the families of the victims.

At least 10 people were killed and more than 30 injured in twin bomb explosions in Guwahati's Fancy bazaar and Pathhar Kuwari areas.
