India Antiterror Agency Probes Maoist Ambush That Killed 24 -- Wall Street Journal
NEW DELHI—India's federal antiterror agency will probe a weekend attack blamed on Maoist insurgents in Chhattisgarh state that left two dozen people dead, including local leaders of the ruling Congress party, government officials said Monday.
The government, which earlier had said 28 people were killed in Saturday's ambush in the state's Jagdalpur region, revised the toll to 24 on Monday. Some bodies were counted twice initially, one of the officials from the federal home ministry said.
The official said the National Investigation Agency will investigate the attack. The government also will send 2,000 more paramilitary personnel to reinforce the state's fight against the rebels, he said.
Thousands have been killed in the Maoist insurgency that began in the late 1960s as a peasant uprising.
