[bemildred]

On the border with Burma. One of many little ethnic
spats in Assam, which India likes for the natural resources,
but otherwise pays little attention too except when someone or
other gets blown up or shot.

GAUHATI, India, Aug. 7 - A front-line guerrilla group that
wants an independent homeland for the Naga ethnic
minority in northeast India has set up an office in
Washington to try to boost its image abroad, a rebel
leader said Thursday

''After all, we have to enlist support from everybody for our
cause even while negotiating with the Indian government to try and
work out an acceptable solution,'' K. Chawang, spokesman for the
Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland,
told The Associated Press.
