Maoists kill 11 in landmine blast
 RAIPUR: Eleven people were killed and four wounded when Maoists detonated a landmine under a vehicle in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, police said on Saturday. The incident took place late on Friday in the Bastar region, about 250 km (150 miles) south of the state capital Raipur, senior police officer Pradeep Gupta told Reuters. He said the Maoists probably mistook the vehicle for a police jeep. "The Maoists exploded a jeep carrying 15 people around 9 pm (1530 GMT Friday)," Gupta said. "Six died on the spot while five succumbed to their injuries on Saturday morning in a hospital." Posted by: Fred 2006-03-26 |
