DHAKA: Bangladesh, which has been constantly denying the presence of Indian separatists on its soil, has explained that Friday's killing of six "terrorists" has proved that it did not allow insurgents or terrorists to operate from its soil. Foreign Secretary Hemayetuddin, who was approached by presspersons after the much talked about joint raid and killing of "six Indian insurgents" got elaborate media coverage, did not identify the terrorists but said "it was a successful operation". He said there was a "clear instruction" from the "highest authorities" to eliminate any act of terrorism along the border. Asked if the anti-terror operation is going to improve relations with India, Mr. Hemayetuddin said it was a continuous process that was linked with the joint operation along the border. The security forces will act instantly to eliminate "any kind of terrorism," he said. Meanwhile, state Minister for Home Lutfozzaman Babar said that the Moulvibazar incident on Friday, where six "terrorists" were killed in encounters with Bangladesh security forces, was part of the Government's efforts to eliminate terrorists from the country. "The operation was conducted under the on-going anti-terrorism drive. This is not an isolated incident. No terrorists, international or external, would be allowed to operate in this country." It is learnt that a joint team is interrogating the nine persons who were arrested with huge amounts arms and ammunition in simultaneous raids along the north-eastern border with Tripura and Assam on May 27. However, despite the authority's reluctance to name the killed terrorists, media reports said they were not locals.
