At least 16 people died in eastern India on Saturday after suspected Maoist rebels detonated a land mine and fired on a convoy of cars. Two politicians were among those killed in the attack.
Suspected Maoist rebels set off a land mine and opened fire Saturday on a convoy of cars carrying local leaders and supporters of India’s ruling Congress party in eastern India, killing at least 16 people and wounding 25 others, police said.
Senior police officer M. Gupta said the attack occurred in the Sukma area, about 215 miles (345 kilometers) south of Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh state.
Two state party leaders and five police officers were among those killed in the attack, said R. K. Vij, a top state police officer. Other victims were party supporters.
“We are devastated,” said Congress party president Sonia Gandhi, who denounced what she called a “dastardly attack” on the country’s democratic values.
