                 Na Sa Ka kidnapped Bangladesh villagers

Dhaka, April 16, 2001

Eleven Bangladeshi villagers were kidnapped by the Burmese border
security personnel (Na Sa Ka) at Bangladesh-Burma border last week. At
night of 10th April, a group of Burmese Na Sa Ka entered into Bangladesh
side and kidnapped the villagers from Bashabari, Dainet and Yezoo
villages situated along the border.

The incident occurred following a joint attack of Arakan and Rohingya
rebels on a Na Sa Ka camp in the area early this month.  A forty-members
strong group of Arakan Army (armed wing of National United Party of
Arakan) and Arakan Rohingya National Army (ARNA) attacked the Na Sa Ka
camp (Bandula Camp) situated between Border Pillar No. 50 and 51 in the
early morning of April 5. The Burmese camp, situated in northern
Maungdaw township in Arakan State, was attacked with motor launchers and
AK-47s. Six Na Sa Ka personnel were reportedly killed and at least 14
others were wounded during the 40-minute attack, sources in the border
said.

In retaliation, the Na Sa Ka kidnapped the Rakhine villagers in
Bangladesh to be used as guides to attack the rebel camps in the border.
In 1989, a similar incident happened when the Burmese troops attacked a
Bangladesh Defence Rifles (BDR) camp at Balukya and took away more than
50 weapons. Only after a year from the incident, the Burmese authorities
returned the weapons and said that they mistook the BDR camp as Arakan
rebels? camp.
