Maoist rebels kill five in landmine attacks PATNA, India, Thursday (AFP) Maoist rebels who hope to disrupt India's upcoming elections killed five people in landmine attacks, including three returning from a wedding, officials said Wednesday. Three wedding guests died instantly and four were injured in a landmine blast overnight in the eastern state of Bihar's Nawada district, 165 kilometers (102 miles) south of its capital Patna, police said. "The victims were returning from a marriage and the Maoists probably took them for policemen," police inspector general Neelmani Kumar told AFP. He blamed the attack on the Maoist Communist Center, an insurgent group that claims to represent rural peasants and has called for a boycott of India's elections which start next week. |
