Maoist rebels kill 76 troops in east India

Maoist rebels launched a series of devastating attacks April 6 on government forces patrolling the forests of eastern India, killing at least 76 troops in the deadliest strike against the state in the 43-year insurgency.

The attack, which came amid a major Indian offensive aimed at crushing the Maoists fueled concerns the government is sending poorly trained forces to the front lines to battle the raging insurgency.

On the early morning of April 6, rebels ambushed some of the troops, killing at least three of them, said R.K. Vij, the inspector general of state police. Another 17 soldiers who went to recover the bodies were killed when their vehicle was blown up by a land mine, although it was designed to withstand such explosives. More troops died as the fighting continued to rage throughout the afternoon.

The rebels have tapped into the rural poor's growing anger at being left out of the country's economic gains. (AP)
