Indian army seizes key rebel base in Manipur

AFP, Guivahati
India's army said yesterday it had seized an important separatist base in the revolt-hit northeastern state of Manipur during a month-long offensive against insurgent groups.
The base, believed to be the headquarters of the outlawed People's Liberation Army (PLA), was captured Monday inside a densely forested region in the Churachandpur district that borders Myanmar.
"The fall of the PLA headquarters is a major success," army spokesman Major Santanu Dev Goswami told AFP from the state capital Imphal.
There was no comment available from militants in Manipur, one of seven states in India's remote northeast which is a hotbed of ethnic and tribal groups fighting for autonomy or independence.
The rebels say they are trying to protect their ethnic identities and accuse New Delhi of plundering resources from the region which is
Fallujah on Tuesday on the second day of the largest operation in Iraq since last year’s US-led war aimed at retaking the Sunni Muslim city from rebels.
They now claim to have seized one third of the city.
The Islamic Army in Iraq, which Is thought to be based mainly In Fallujah, follows the strict Wahabist school of Islam and has claimed responsibility for several abductions and executions in Iraq.
Among the target listed were "the headquarters for the war on terrorism," a likely reference to the so-called Green Zone housing the Iraqi government and the US and other foreign embassies.
It also named the buildings of the interior ministry, oil ministry and finance ministry and listed military sites, embassies and major hotels.
Tlie Islamic Army in Iraq also urged its fighters to "film their operations... to uncover ihe enemy’s lies."
Another statement by the group published Monday on the same site, addressed "the Iraqi people and (Islamic) nation" and denounced "the slaughter by the infidels in Iraq". rich in minerals, tea, timber and oil.
The PLA is among the most influential of the 19 rebel groups active in Manipur. The army says they are equipped with anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers and other weapons.
"We seized computers, communication gadgets, weapons and explosives, besides large stocks of food grains from the PIA base," Goswami said. He said the militants fled the camp before the troops arrived.
At least 20 rebels have been killed and 59 captured during the action that began last month by about 7,500 troops, the army official said.
The army said it had the "rebels on the run" and they were unable to sneak into Myanmar because the military regime has sealed the bor-derwith India.
Last month New Delhi and Yangon agreed to cooperate in fighting terrorism. Myanmar military leader Senior Gen Than Shwe pledged not to allow his country to be used for anti- India activities.
