The Hindu today reports that eight Border Security Forces (BSF) officials have been killed near the Assam-Bhutan border due to an ambush last night by suspected National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) militants. Eight other BSF personnel were injured.
Update (18/3): the anti-talks faction of the NDFB has since claimed responsibility for the attack. New Delhi based think tank the Institute for Defence Studies & Analyses has published an article arguing the attack reflects government complacency and a failure of intelligence coordination efforts.
