RAW note reveals LeT links with Rohingya Muslims. More than 1,400 Burmese refugees have taken shelter in Hyderabad with MIM Blessings Intelligence agencies of the US, Bangladesh and Singapore gathered information about the training of Rohingya Muslim radicals in a Lashkar-e-Taiba camp in Pakistan last May, top government sources said, even as R&AW has identified Rohingya-Buddhist violence in Myanmar as an emerging counter-terrorism challenge. The R&AW (Research and Analysis Wing) note circulated to the highest levels in the government in January indicated the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was trying to establish a toehold in Myanmar’s Arakan area by building a forum called Difa e Musalman Arakan (Burma) and mobilising a cadre to fight the Myanmar government. From Myanmar to Hyderabad:Hyderabad: Faced with persecution in Myanmar, hundreds of Rohingya Muslims have taken refuge in Hyderabad, apart from several other Indian cities. The trickling of the Rohingyas to the southern city began in 2012 and reports say there could be more than 1,200 Rohingyas in Hyderabad now — in parts of the old city — with most of them engaged in petty jobs. hindustantimes/India-news/NewDelhi/RAW-note-reveals-LeT-links-with-Rohingya-Muslims/Article1-1088843.aspx
