Maoist Attack in India

Posted on the 26 May 2013 by Calvinthedog

Here.

A convoy of political leaders from Chattisargh, India was ambushed by a huge guerrilla column of between 200-300 guerrillas. 16 people were killed, including 5 police officers. The Congress Party leader for the state and his son were missing and feared abducted, and a senior member of the Congress party in Chattisargh was killed. The police were escorting the convoy when it was attacked in a forested area between two valleys.

This is one of the more audacious Maoist attacks in the last few years. Attacks have gone down recently and the article speculated that government good and jobs programs might have cut support, but that seems really dubious to me.
