RAIPUR, India, April 11 (Reuters): Heavily armed Maoists ambushed a security forces patrol in central India Friday, killing 10 personnel, a police official said, as the rebels step up violence ahead of the general election.
More than 125 Maoists armed with AK-47s fired at a team of central reserve police force patrolling the forested Chintagufa area, about 445 kms south of Raipur, capital of Chhattisgarh state, said Rahul Sharma, a local superintendent of police.
Eight security personnel were injured in the attack in the restive Bastar region, in which three Maoist rebels were also killed, he said.
