Guwahati:
The ULFA threatened to target leaders of the ruling Congress in Assam if Army operations against the banned group continued.
A caller claiming to be from the group's strike force, 28 battalion, in upper Assam rang up a private TV channel's office here and made the threat. The caller also claimed that the ULFA "could not be defeated even by 10 lakh Army men, leave alone 10,000."
The Congress termed the ULFA's threat as "nothing new" and called for a political solution to the insurgency problem.
"The ULFA's threat to attack Congress leaders is nothing new. On several occasions such threats were made by them," state Congress president Bhubaneswar Kalita told reporters. - PTI
