A powerful bomb hidden in a bag
was found near the National Highway 37 in Assam's Goalpara
district today, police sources said.
Security personnel found the bomb during patrol at
Haldapara adjacent to NH 37 under Goalpara police station
close to the area where a bomb exploded on July 31 killing an
army man and injuring six others.
According to intelligence reports, a group of seven
ULFA militants have entered the district to carry out
subversive activities in the run up to the Independence Day,
the sources added.
