India: at least 13 Maoist rebels killed in army operation. The operation took place on Tuesday in the eastern forest state of Chhattisgarh.
The army believes they were part of the People's Liberation Armed Guerrilla, the armed wing of the Maoist party. 22 Maoist fighters have been killed in two weeks in this region – and more than 50 since the start of the year. The intensification of military operations is certainly linked to the approach of the legislative elections on April 19.
