Maoist rebels derail train in India
PATNA: Maoist insurgents blew up railway tracks and derailed a train in eastern India on Wednesday, police said, in response to what the Maoists say is a campaign of violence by local police against villagers.
No one was injured, but dozens of trains were held up or cancelled as rebels used explosives to blow tracks in two separate districts of Bihar state, police said.
“We found a third bomb which did not explode and the situation could have been worse then,” said Sanjay Singh, a senior police officer.
The Maoists accuse local police of violence against villagers falsely accused of being rebels. Police deny all charges of misconduct.—Reuters
