Police say at least five police officials were killed and two others critically injured when Maoist rebels targeted their vehicle with a bomb in eastern India.
Police say the rebels detonated a land mine on Sunday as an armored vehicle ran over it in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh state.
Police say the two injured policemen were evacuated to a hospital in critical condition.

Oppressors never win, history repeats itself many times but people never learn and keep repeating the same mistakes. For the power of a few, thousands die in vain. Asians should learn from europe and move on rather than destroying the rich lands.
