Maoists kill 55 cops in India

Maoist rebels stormed a police camp in the troubled central Indian state of Chhattisgarh on Thursday, killing 55 members of the police and tribal militia in one of the deadliest attacks by the insurgents in years.
Between 300 and 400 rebels attacked the camp, surrounded by dense forest in the southern part of the state, throwing grenades and petrol bombs and setting fire to it before escaping with a cache of arms and explosives.
