PATNA- According to news reports; Suspected Maoist rebels killed seven policemen with a landmine blast in eastern India Tuesday, officials said, the second attack blamed on the insurgents in Bihar state in less than a week.
District Police Chief Upendra Kumar Sharma told AFP that 7 policemen died when armed Maoists targeted a security patrol with a landmine.
According to news; the blast occurred in the district of Aurangabad, 150 kilo- Meters (93 miles) from the state capital Patna. On Saturday suspected guerrillas opened fire on a passenger train in Bihar Munger district, killing three Railway security men.
A last month ago, the outlawed insurgents ambushed a security patrol and killed four troopers in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh. The Maoists have grown from a rag-tag band of ideologues into a potent insurgent force, creating a so-called “Red Corridor” that stretches throughout central and eastern India.
By the report they demand land and jobs for the poor, and want to establish a communist society by toppling what they call India’s “semi-colonial, semi-feudal” form of rule.
