The United Revolutionary Front of Bhutan (URFB) has claimed responsibility to the Sunday twin blasts in Bhutan.
In a media statement sent to BNS via email from undisclosed location, Karma, Commander-in-Chief of the Front, said the blasts were aimed at drawing the attentions of the ongoing national assembly towards the people’s aspiration and to warn the stakeholders—in their own words, responsible for the suffering of the innocent Bhutanese people in general.
“The Front detonated two (IED) explosives at followings places—one in Gaylephug cinema hall and the other in Phuentsholing Market. URFB sincerely claims these incidents that took place on May 22, 2011,” reads the statement.
The Front further stated that under the ploy of the so-called democratization, the regime still functions with iron rule and people are being suppressed, oppressed and discriminated in Bhutan.
“URFB shall continue its subversive activities till the regime exercise its autocratic power and present itself in more aggressive manner in coming days ahead,” warned Karma.
