NLFT men kill seven tribals

The outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) militants attacked a Mog hamlet at Nalicherra in Dhalai recently and shot dead seven tribal villagers,. Among the killed are two women. Four more were injured in the attack. According to reports, a group of about 25 militants first cordoned off the village market at West Nalicherra and opened indiscriminate firing from their automatic weapons.

In the firing, villagers, who were sitting at the shop of one Changmung Mog were riddled with bullets. Six of them were killed on the spot while one died later in the hospital. Later the militants set houses afire. Amidst extreme tension and panic, it is believed that the attack was to avenge the killing of two NLFT militants Haripada Malsum and Katicharan Malsum recently by TSR personnel at Shibbari area in the same district. This is the second major attack of the NLFT militants in recent times. Earlier, the NLFT militants attacked Singicherra on January 13 and killed 16 persons and nine were injured.
