Bangladesh exports terrorism too

Terrorism against India now comes from Bangladesh sponsored by some pro Al-Qaeda groups.

Confessions made by one Mohammed Yasin Ali, a district commandant of the militant Muslim United Liberation Tigers of Asom (MULTA), have revealed that pro-Qaeda armed groups in Bangladesh have been "talent-scouting" among Muslim settlers in Assam.

According to the MULTA militant, potential hitmen are lured into Bangladesh and provided a six-month crash course in handling weapons and planning operations, besides a monthly stipend of Rs 2,000. "The recruits are straightaway taken to a training camp at Kurikilam in Jaipur area of Bangladesh," Ali's statement said. ?The six-month training is extendable by another six months if recruits fail certain tests. Completion of the course ensures the monthly stipend, which is payable for three years.? Hindustan Times

Islamic militancy has been on a rise in Bangladesh and the militants consider it a safe haven, but as usual the BNP Govt. denies it. Bhutan, a friendly neighbor of India, launched operations against separatist groups based in Bhutan working against India. But you cannot expect any pro-India actions from Bangladesh.
