Maoists attack police post in Bihar: 9 killed
Afp, pti, New Delhi
Some 200 heavily-armed Maoists attacked two police stations in India's eastern Bihar state, killing six constables and three villagers, police said yesterday. The attacks on the neighbouring stations took place late Saturday, police said from district headquarters some 30km away. "They attacked both the police stations so that they would not be able to aid each other," said a policeman in Rohtas district, more than 1,000 kilometres from New Delhi. "They used petrol bombs, grenades, rifles and AK-47's. Whatever weapons the police avail of, they also had." Five people were wounded in the attack and had been taken to neighbouring Uttar Pradesh state for treatment, the policeman said.
