Ping...

GK: any idea where this happened? If it is maoists, my guess is either Bihar or Andhra Pradesh. If the perps are the koranimals/ROP, could be anywhere.

50 people?? They must have blown up a bus.

RAIPUR, India, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Maoists rebels set off a landmine under a truck on Tuesday in central India, killing 50 people who belonged to a government-sponsored anti-Maoist group, police said.

The incident comes on the eve of a visit by U.S. President George W, Bush. "Maoists set off a landmine in Darmagura area in Dantewada district, killing 50 people. The details of injured persons are awaited," senior police officer S.K Paswan told Reuters.

Darmagura, 500 km (300 miles) south of the state capital, Raipur, is a stronghold of Maoists who claim to fighting for the rights of peasants and landless labourers.
