2001-06: A DOZEN ARMS HAUL

Origin, destination invariably unknown

SHARIFUL ISLAM
Bangladesh saw at least a dozen high-profile seizures of arms, ammunition and explosives, besides the biggest 10-truck arms haul in Chittagong during the BNP-led government's tenure between 2001 and 2006.
A cache of99,999 rounds of bullets and 174 kilograms of RDX explosives was found in Kahalu and Dupchachia of Bogra in June 2003, while four AK-47 rifles, 20 grenades and two kilograms of plastic explosives were recovered at Kuril Badda in the capital in November that year.
Besides, more than 100 firearms, including M-16 and AK-47 rifles, rocket launchers and submachine guns and a few hundred grenades and several thousand bullets were seized in raids in the dense forests of Bandarban and Rangamati from July 2002 to March 2004.
In a drive in Naikkhongchhari of Bandarban in November 2004, the then BDR personnel seized 14 firearms, including seven AK-47 rifles and two M-16 rifles, and around 3,000 rounds of ammunition. They also recovered 16 firearms, including eight AK-47 rifles and eight light machineguns and 4,000 rounds of bullets at Jaruliachhari in the district in December the same year.
In most cases, investigators could not determine the origin and destination of the smuggled firearms and ammunition or find out the main culprits. Police said most of the firearms seized from the hilly areas between 2002 and 2004 belonged to different Arakan-based insurgent groups fighting Myanmar government forces since the early 1990s.
Like the 10 truckloads of arms and ammunition seized in Chittagong a decade back, the huge cache of arms and explosives hauled in Bogra in 2003 was meant for the United Liberation Front of Asom (Ulfa), a separatist group fighting for an independent Assam, said officials of intelligence agencies.
Rab members seized 41 grenades in a raid on the house of a member ofHarkatul Jihad al Islami Bangladesh (Huji), a banned militant outfit, in Satkhira in February 2008.
The grenades were part of a consignment smuggled into Bangladesh from Pakistan via Chittagong and were meant for Islamist separatist groups in Jammu and Kashmir, according to officials of the Criminal Investigation Department. Huji operatives used some grenades from the consignment to carry out a deadly attack on an Awami League rally on August 21, 2004, killing at least 24 people and injuring many others, they said.
There were also some incidents of seizure of arms and ammunition after the tenure of the last BNP-led four-party government ended.
On December 26, 2010, the then BDR members busted a suspected Ulfa hideout in the northern frontier district of Sherpur and seized equipment used for manufacturing mines, radio sets and Ulfa documents.
The recovery was made barely a week after police seized 13,680 rounds of bullets from an abandoned hut at a remote village in the same district.
The Ulfa was active and had hideouts in the bordering district at that time, though law enforcement agencies conducted massive anti-terrorism drives across the country after the AL-led government assumed power in
