Militants in Bhutan

This news was disturbing.

A militant camp in Tsirang at Kuenselonline.

The Royal Bhutan army even exchanged a few rounds of fire with the militants who said they belonged to the self proclaimed Bhutan Tiger Force. Dal Bahadur Tamang, who was caught, informed the RBA that there were around 26 of them, living in three sheds. Boli Bhavan was their leader.
Tamang told the patrol that they belonged to the Bhutan Tiger Force, the militant wing of the Nepal-based Commuist Party of Bhutan, and that they had entered Bhutan in December, 2007, from Kachugaon village in Assam.

A RBA spokesman said that a search and combing operation was being conducted between lower Tsirang and the Bhutan-Assam border.

Are the other militant groups living in Bhutan?
