Even As Osama Bin Laden urged the Muslim community
of Assam to launch the fight for an Islamic state in Assam, two bombs have
been recovered in Mukalmuwa police station area, in the Nalbari district of
Assam.
Two suitcases were found in a mosque compound of Kandhmari village. It was
the villagers who first saw the suitcases in an isolated place in the masjid
compound.
Receiving the information, police rushed to the spot, but could not manage
to check the contents of the suitcases, as they did not bring a bomb squad
along.
The local police took the suitcases to a safe place. The bomb squad of the
Second Mountain division of army blasted the same in a safe place, according
to police sources.
Local people inform the police that two unknown persons had brought the suitcases
to the masjid. The local people thought that the persons were the members
of Tablighi Jamaat. The local people also informed the police that the persons
were from the Barpeta district.
It is to be noted that one and half month ago, seven detonators were found
in that area and police had arrested four persons of the char area of Brahmaputra
in this connection. They had confessed that the bomb making industry was flourishing
in the char area and that it supplied to the other parts of the state. The
fundamentalist activities are also strong in that area, sources added. Police
have launched operation in specific areas of Nalbari and Barpeta district
to nab the culprits.
