Bhubaneswar, India Indian rebels holding an Italian tour guide hostage in India have threatened "extreme steps" unless their demand for the release of their jailed comrades is met by Tuesday.
It is however the first time that the rebels have targeted foreigners.
"We want a clear-cut written commitment from the government concerning our demands. We won't release the Italian national until then," rebel leader. Otherwise, he said, they may take "extreme steps".
The Indian rebels have been fighting a deadly low-intensity war against authorities for decades for what they say is the rights of tribal people and landless farmers.
India's government describes the guerrillas as the most serious internal security threat.
