               COX'S BAZAR, Bangladesh, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Bangladesh
security forces
               said on Saturday they killed one person and arrested another
during a raid on
               Myanmar Communist Party hideout near the country's
southeastern border with
               Myanmar. 

               "The raid was conducted on definite information... Many
intruders have fled but
               one was killed and another arrested," a security official
said. 

               He said a big cache of arms including AK-47 rifles and
ammunitions had been
               seized during the raid on the hideout of Myanmar Communist
Party at Amchhari.

               On Friday, Bangladeshi police arrested two members of an
Islamic militant
               group, Harkatul Mujahideen at Ukhiya, 30 km (18 miles) from
the southeastern
               resort town of Cox's Bazar. 

               Police said the two people had links with international
Islamic militants and
               reportedly fought alongside Talebean forces in Afghanistan.
