Ambush claims 18 Indian policemen >From correspondents in Raipur, India November 03, 2007 02:58am Article from: Agence France-Presse AT least 18 policemen were feared killed in an Maoist rebel ambush today in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, officials said. The attack took place in the state's rebel-infested Bijapur district, a senior police officer said in the state capital, Raipur. "Until we retrieve all the bodies, we cannot say for sure they are all dead," he said, preferring not to be named. The victims were deployed in a 23-man anti-Maoist patrol in the forests of Bijapur, where an unspecified number of guerrillas attacked them with firearms, he said. "Five of the men have returned after the ambush," he said. Reinforcements were being rushed to the scene of the ambush. The attack follows two separate gunbattles in which five policemen and four Maoist rebels were killed in Chhattisgarh and in nearby revolt-hit Jharkhand state. In an attack on Monday, left-wing guerrillas fired at a police patrol in Chhattisgarh, killing five. In another incident, four Maoist rebels died in a gunbattle with police in Jharkhand, where guerrillas killed 23 people over the weekend, including a former minister's son. The Maoist insurgency - which grew out of a peasant uprising in eastern India in 1967 - threatens huge swaths of India's centre, east and south and has spread to half of India's 29 states. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the rebels as the single biggest threat to India's internal security. The Maoists say they are fighting for the rights of neglected tribal people and landless farmers. . <http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=11648958/grpspId=1705447214/msgI d=46881/stime=1194042385/nc1=3848627/nc2=3848642/nc3=4990215> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
