KNF has crossed the line a long time ago. Army needs to be deployed in that area to maintain peace.

It could be possible! As I also read somewhere ( perhaps in 2013 ,can't remember exactly ; but I still have the link, it's a Bengali blog) that Talibans are actually the creation of ISI and Pakistan armed forces and where they don't want to do official operations , they use Talibans!

So I won't be surprised if Bangladesh govt also has such group! But it's important to control them! If Bangladesh armed forces can control them properly, they also can be government asset!

However I will be waiting for your writing, hope it will be exciting! Long time didn't read any writings ( from real people)related to real life intelligence branch's jobs!

One thing @Old School bhai , if they are army proxy ,why do they need to loot a local bank?

That is a convenient way to pay any illegal entity because you cannot pay them under government accounting regime which is subject to regulatory audit. So, you allow them to loot a government bank and not a private bank!!

So what if they get caught by police ( which is highly unlikely I know , but let's assume it) they will be sent to jail!

That means the Bengali proverb is the reality , "Sorpo hoia kato tumi ojha hoiya jharo ," great !

That Sonali Bank branch is right next to the police station.

So they don't care the slightest about what public will say? Very straightforward method to pay them, which is not good ! They should have looted a bank that's far from police station!

However it looks we get used to it , as already we know news of countless bank looting in digital way, in our smart Bangladesh!

Although it was public, 99.99% of people would not know what this photo means. They would not even know who exactly these people are. They just ignored it as an innocent picture. It is the job of an intelligence analyst to give such an object meaning. A picture says a thousand words.
By the way, as I had correctly predicted they quite quickly found the bank manager unharmed but with no money or weapon !! Bank robbers usually never kidnap anyone once they have the money. There is no value in it. It was staged to fool naive people.

I see! Well it's the difference between professional and amateur!

Kuki-Chin also serves as a counterweight against the formation of any Western-sponsored anti-China rebel group on the Myanmar border in Hill Tracts. This group also has Chinese blessings. Just pay attention to the name 'Chin".
