Muslim fundamentalist organization in north east india
Answers
Explanation:
Muslim United Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA) is an Islamist extremist organization founded around 1996 in the eastern Indian state of Assam by both Assamese indigenous Muslims. The South Asia Terrorism Portal describes it as part of the All Muslim United Liberation Forum of Assam (AMULFA), and that Muslim United Liberation Front of Assam (MULFA) is a sister organization under the AMULFA umbrella.
According to Indian authorities, the organization is tied to terrorist operations and criminal activity throughout Assam, primarily in Dhubri district, but also in Nagaon, Morigaon and Darrang districts. It sells weapons illegally, and conducts kidnapping and extortion to fund its activities.
It operates in conjunction with other extremist organizations, such as a 20 April 2009 gun battle near Lokra against Indian police, in which the Indian Red Horns division killed three members of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) along with two MULTA members, Baul Ali and Yunis Ali.
It is also asserted to cooperate with the Maoist National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah (NSCM-IM)
