[Assam] B;ast in Guwahati - TOI

[Ram Sarangapani]

Well, Mukul da,

Thats what the TOI says. And the Sentinel says 'militants'.
And the Associated Press, the BBC seem to point it the ULFA.

AP (in the Canadian Press)
http://www.canada.com/topics/news/world/story.html?id=60d7710d-3389-4f55-820f-fa76769daaa1&k=85143
and the BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/5062620.stm

But the BBC does quote Paresh Barua as saying

"Those who want the peace dialogue in Assam scuttled are using mercenaries
to stage such attacks so that we can be blamed "

So, I guess, you could be right, and that its not the ULFA, and they could
all be wrong.

But you must agree its viscious cycle with heroes and villians all around.
Its a darn shame.

--Ram
