Indian rebels kill seven troopers

GUWAHATI, India, Nov 2, 2007 (AFP) - Seven paramilitary troopers died Friday in an ambush by tribal separatists in India's restive northeastern state of Assam, police said.

The Black Widow faction of the banned Haolam Daogah (DHD) attacked a three-vehicle patrol convoy of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in North Cachar Hills district, a police spokesman said.

The area of the attack, 260 kilometres (160 miles) south of Assam's main city of Guwahati, is considered a rebel stronghold.

"One of the CRPF vehicles first ran over a powerful landmine. Soon after the explosion, militants hiding atop a hill fired indiscriminately on the convoy," police official A. Das told AFP by telephone.

It was unclear whether the seven died in the explosion or were killed in the subsequent gunfire, Das said.

The DHD is fighting for a homeland for the Dimasa tribe in southern Assam. A second faction of the DHD has declared a ceasefire with New Delhi.

More than 30 rebel armies operate in the northeastern states with demands ranging from secession to greater autonomy and the right to self-determination.

More than 10,000 people have lost their lives to insurgency in Assam during the past two decades.

It says DHD is fighting for a homeland for the Dimasa tribe in southern Assam while ULFA wants Assam as separate homeland isnt it ??????

Or if what i understand is wrong ???

Women involved woww. This is something strange. Indian troops do they too move unprotected like our FC in tribal belt?

Well icey its not so strange. Guess they have women in their folds as fighting for the separat homeland.

Rest moving unprotective is not the reason as they mainly target police posts and these posts had been attacks many times in the past too but its strange despite several such attacks nothing had been done to mane these posts.
One more thing i guess if i am not wrong the presenc of thick forests in Assam that help these sepratists to hide and attack the indian policemen. and may be the police is not that trained nor it follow them in the thick jungles.

Strange in a way that women do play a part but to actually lead this way and attack paramilitary soliders is something that amazes me. But i do agree thick forests help them alot to hide and attack.One thing that bothers me is why the government is so silent about any of this as this is not the first time it happened and indian media doesnt highlight much of it too. It seems like they wana show their public SAB ACHA HA

Nothing makes me more mad, or sad, than to hear about the death of soldiers, especially indian soldiers. Heartfelt condolences to the families of the dead.

Indian troops made a grave mistake moving in the open like that. we thought ULFA's backbone was broken a few months back thanx to intensive military operations by IA that saw many of those wretches being killed. The paramilitary should be replaced by regualr IA troops in that area.

Just goes to show, dont ever let your guard down. Its time for another military crackdown to avenge the deaths of these 7 paramilitary troopers and ensure that the ULFA b@st@rds are removed from the face of the earth once and for all.

Su the operation was started when and exactly in which areas??

The paramilitary should be replaced by regualr IA troops in that area.

Paramilitary force i guess is not the answer as much as we had seen in our country as they are less equipped rather poorly equiped and less trained.
