Imphal, December 17 (IANS): In a surprise attack, a large group of tribal militants overran a paramilitary camp in Manipur's Noney district and fled with about 20 assorted automatic guns, official sources said. The incident occurred around 11.30 a.m in the camp manned by personnel of India Reserve Battalion and Manipur Rifles at Nungkao in the newly-carved out district. "About 70 militants raided the camp. They were in combat fatigue and carried highly sophisticated weapons," an official said, adding that there was no firing from any sides and no casualties. Reinforcements had been dispatched to the area while officials at the spot said that they are making inventory of the arms and ammunition lost.
