Government today said ULFA top leader Arabinda Rajkhowa was "apprehended" by the BSF on Meghalaya-Bangladesh border and later arrested by Assam Police as he was wanted in connection with several cases.

Angry residents on Monday went on a rampage setting ablaze houses and blocking roads to protest the indiscriminate firing by NDFB insurgents in their village in Assam's Sonitpur district that left 12 people dead.

Two NDFB militants were on Sunday killed in an encounter with the police in Assam's Dhemaji district, official sources said.

Six National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) militants were Tuesday killed in an encounter with the Army in Karbi Anglong district of Central Assam.

The decision by the outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), blamed for the October bombings in Assam, to replace its Bangladesh-based chairman with a new leader and contest parliamentary elections next year could have far reaching political ramifications in the state.
