Blocking the Bangladesh Border

December 20, 2005: India is sending more troops to the Bangladesh border. There are some twenty million illegal Bangladesh migrants in India, and over a thousand more try to cross the border every month. Both governments fear that the people smugglers are also moving Islamic terrorists back and forth. Islamic terrorists have gotten far more active in the last year, and money and bomb making materials have been seen coming in from India.

 

December 19, 2005: In Bangladesh, police raided a house used by Islamic terror group DecJamiatul Mujahideen, and found some 60 pounds of explosives, and other bomb making materials.  Along the Indian border, guards caught a man trying to carry on a pound of explosives and other bomb making materials. 

 

December 18, 2005: At least a brigade of Pakistani troops have moved against tribal rebels in Baluchistan. So far, some thirty rebels have been killed, largely from helicopter gunship attacks.
