Two Bangladesh-origin US nationals were arrested in Mizoram’s Lengpui airport and deported from the state capital Aizawl over their plans to meet militants of the Kuki-Chin National Front (KNA/F), NDTV reports. Intelligence reports indicated four US nationals would be coming to Aizawl using tourist visas on May 2, NDTV quoted sources on Saturday. After reaching Aizawl, they planned to meet KNA/F leaders including Nathan Lawncheo Bawm, it added. At least two Bangladesh-origin US nationals had played a key role in developing the KNA/F in CHT during its nascent stage, it added. The KNA/F has been allegedly using acronyms such as “KNA” to confuse people; they started using KNA/A in February, and are now using KNA/F, according to the report.
