Bandarban, April 23 -- Chin National Front (KNF) was killed on Monday, in a clash with state security forces who are carrying out an anti-terror combing operation in Bandarban district.

Although ostensibly the KNF advocates for the rights and betterment of the indigenous Kuki Chin tribal people in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, it maintains a separate armed wing, the Kuki Chin National Army (KNA), that has engaged in acts of terrorism in the hills.

The incident happened on Monday afternoon, in the Munlai Para area of Ruma Upazila.
