Thai gunrunner Wuthikorn Naruenartwanich alias Willy is spilling the beans after his arrest in Bangkok at the weekend.
He has already provided details of how Chinese weapons, procured through a maze of fronts, found their way to northeast India’s Naga rebels through Bangladesh.
Willy has corroborated details provided by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a chargesheet against arrested Naga rebel leader Anthony Shimray that a huge shipment of Chinese weapons was to head for the Cox’s Bazar coast from Beihei port in the South China Sea soon.
Shimray was shown arrested in Patna though Indian intelligence admit he was picked up from Kathmandu with help from Nepal police on Oct 2, 2010.
He has confessed to the NIA during interrogation that he paid an advance of $ 800,000 this April to a Bangkok-based company to source rocket launchers, grenades, assault rifles and ammunition for the Naga and other insurgent groups in northeast India from a weapons supplier in mainland China. – Bdnews24.com
