NEW DELHI, India - Communist rebels armed with rifles, hand grenades and petrol bombs attacked a police post in the jungles of eastern India on Thursday, killing at least 49 officers, police said.
hey these a$$holes are getting serious.
The pre-dawn attack Thursday was the latest in a series of increasingly bold assaults by the rebels, who have been fighting for more than two decades in central and eastern India's long-impoverished hinterlands.
time to fire the bunch who were in charge [if they still live]
Equipped with rifles, hand grenades and homemade petrol bombs, the insurgents appeared to have caught the 79 officers guarding the remote post by surprise, Swarnkar said. Another 12 officers were wounded in the attack.
Suprise? heh 49 are dead I guess suprise and flat footed and maybe drunk too!
The post is located in the state of Chattisgarh, nearly 930 miles southeast of New Delhi.
Chattisgarh, my fav hideaway till now anyway.
Before fleeing with weapons stolen from the police post, the attackers scattered land mines around the area, Swarnkar said. By midday, police reinforcements had reached the post and were fanning out into the jungle to search for the attackers.
fanning, yea right.

#2  This is the bitter fruit of India's betrayal of Nepal to the Maoists : the revitalized Maoists in India. When the Indians refused to back up the King and Army in Nepal 6 months ago, and helped the Maoists gain power and seats in Parliament, they assured that the Maoists in India would soon begin another series of terrorist/guerrilla operations. There is a great deal of bleed over and joint occupancy between the Nepalese and Indian Maoists, including sharing of weapons and safe houses.

#1  And suppose they got control of the Hinterlands....
What exactly would they do with them?
What's their plan to bring economic and social improvement to the region? Oh yeah, rifles, hand grenades and petrol bombs, that ought to take care of it.
