  • Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on November 8 stated that the biggest threat to Assam was from Bangladesh as several terrorist outfits operating in Assam had bases in that country. Mr. Gogoi termed Assam as “the most vulnerable state in regard to terror attacks from Bangladeshi soil.” While noting that militant outfits also operated from Myanmar and Nepal, Mr. Gogoi insisted that Bangladesh remained the states biggest threat1.

    In other developments, a team of Special Task Force of Kolkata police and the military intelligence arrested eight suspected Manipuri militants from an auction house in Central Kolkata on November 7.
