Guwahati, India : Police say suspected rebels lined up and fatally shot eight rail workers in India’s insurgency-wracked northeastern region of Assam.
Inspector-General of Police Khagen Sharma says Sunday’s attack by suspected insurgents came a day after the Indian army killed six rebels in a shootout, the Associated Press reported.
The attack took place in the village of Faiding, about 300 kilometers (200 miles) south of the Assam state capital of Guwahati.
Sharma said Monday that authorities suspect the attack was carried out by a faction of the Dima Halam Daogah rebel group.
