'LTTE not training Nepal's Maoists in Bihar'
Patna : Bihar has denied a report that Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers are providing military training to Nepal's Maoist insurgents in a northern district of the state bordering the kingdom.
A top police official said: "We have no such information and strongly feel that Nepal's Maoist insurgents are not being trained in the area near the Nepal border."
<b>The state administration was disturbed by a report in the Friday edition of South Asia Tribune, an ezine - magazine published on the Internet - from Washington that said the Lankan rebels were teaching Nepalese outlaws to form human bomb squads for suicidal missions.</b>
<b>The report claimed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was running training camps in Narkatiaganj and Ghorasahan in Bihar near the Nepal border.</b>
After a discussion with top police and intelligence officials, Governor Buta Singh said Monday that the state police had not come up with any such evidence so far.
Sources in the state home department told IANS here that the centre had also sought a report from Bihar in this connection.
Last month, alarmed by the biggest attack ever by Maoist guerrillas in Bihar, the state government urged the centre to take immediate steps to stop Maoist infiltration from Nepal. The state also asked New Delhi to beef up security along the 735-km stretch of the India-Nepal border in Bihar's northern districts.
More than 300 Maoist guerrillas, including dozens of women, had attacked the Madhuban bazaar in East Champaran district.
