I do not think that this detail is important for any matter ...... nor am I getting involved in a debate of how much > credibility do you > give the statement of a captured "militant" I thought that this detail was published by you . I do not think that I have come to any conclusion or does it appear so from my mail ? I just tried to show readers that the two news paper reports were NOT contradictory. I do not want to "assume" anything and come up with many questions but the only question I have is why MASS and/or AssamWatch and/or some American Assamese are silent when innocent Bihari's (or Bengali's or even common Assamese ..) are killed by suspected terrorist (or whosoever) whereas they are up in arms when even an armed millitant get killed in an encounter. For American Assamese , I guess I know the answer though .... it may be the Bush syndrom ...... talk of UN and Geneva convention when American POW are tortured (are they ?) and give a damn to UN when declaring the war :) And I am still not sure what the "May be" (you may be correct.) means ........I mean was there somewhere in the report that "Kalyani was a tenant in minati bora's house" which I missed ?
