GUWAHATI, India (Reuters) - Police arrested a senior Bhutanese refugee leader on Wednesday in connection with bomb attacks in Assam that killed 86 people last month.

Tenzing G Zangpo, general secretary of the Druk National Congress (DNC) of Bhutan, was arrested along with a senior leader of separatist Indian group, the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), from Guwahati.

Identifying those behind the Oct. 30 blasts has been difficult in a region riddled with several long-running armed insurgencies complicated by backing from Islamist groups based in neighbouring Bangladesh.

"Zangpo has been sent to police custody for 10 days for interrogation," a senior police officer, who asked not to be named, told Reuters.
