This link (plus many other similar ones, but only this one says
anything about burning temples) 
is all I could find on recent mayhem in the CHT (Chittagong Hill
Tracts) that mentions attacks on temples:

http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=129515

"...Over two thousands adivasis are still hiding in the deep
forests of Baghaichari. Two Buddhist temples and a church have
been burnt to ashes. The entire episode seems to have commenced
from boycotting of the daily market by indigenous people in
protest against land grabbing by Bengali settlers, according to
press reports."

The army is always brought into these flatlander/hill people
attacks, and they always side with the Bangali flatlanders
against the hill peoples (Chakmas and Marmas).
