Lapang seeks report on LAEF nexus with NSCN(IM)

Shillong, Aug 29 (UNI) Meghalaya Chief Minister D D Lapang today sought a report from the state police department on the nexus between the NSCN(IM) and Liberation Achik Elite Force (LAEF) militant outfit.

'' I will seek the report from the police department and would act accordingly, '' Mr Lapang told reporters here.

In fact, the police department said it would lodge a complaint with the Centre against the NSCN(IM) for supplying arms and ammunition and imparting guerilla warfare training to the tribal Garo militant outfit.

'Commander-in-Chief' of LAEF Peter Marak, killed in a crossfire last week between police and his cadres at Kalak area, had revealed to the police that the NSCN(IM) was extending weapon support.

'' Mr Marak confessed that the NSCN(IM) had provided them with AK rifles and universal machine guns to his outfit, '' a police official said.
