ULFA chairman released from jail

GUWAHATI - Arabinda Rajkhowa, chairman of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), was Saturday released from the Guwahati Central Jail.

Rajkhowa, who was Thursday granted bail by a special TADA court, said the ULFA is ready for unconditional peace talks but wants the outfit to stay united.

Rajkhowa, 54, was captured from Dhaka by sleuths of the Rapid Action Battalion and then handed over to Indian authorities December last year. He was at the Guwahati Central Jail for the past one year.
