| 2006-04-29 |
| At least thirteen people have been killed while the fate of 37 others, who were among 52 people taken hostage by CPI(M) Naxalites on Tuesday in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district, was still not known. "We have recovered 13 bodies from near the Manikonta village of Erroabore police station, about 550 kms from the state capital," Dornapal police station sources told to a news agency by phone. The outlawed Maoists had killed two persons yesterday, they said adding, 37 villagers who were kidnapped from the village from opposing naxalites were released. "The released villagers are in a state of shock and are not (not) able to tell where they were and how they were treated," the sources said. Senior officials have rushed to the spot as Chief Minister Raman Singh and many of his Ministers and top officials are in district headquarters in Dantewada in connection with a meeting of Bastar development authority. About 60 villagers, who are staying in Dornapal relief camps, had gone to their Manikonta village to look after their belongings on 25th April. The Maoists, who were present in the village, surrounded them and assaulted them, police said. About three men and five women escaped and ran to nearby jungles and reached Dornapal relief camp and then informed the police. These villagers were staying in government relief camps after naxal threat and were participating in peace campaign against the Maoists in Dantewada and Bijapur districts. |

| #3 Well, it is the weekend and the season's starting soon. Chances are they're very busy getting those primo rentals in the Hamptons nailed down and won't possibly have the time to make a statement on this. |
