Indian Maoist rebels have killed nine members of the security forces by detonating a roadside bomb that tossed their vehicle into the air, police said. Photographs published by Indian media on Monday showed a deep crater ripped into the road by the blast. More than 10,000 people have died in the decades-long insurgency waged by the rebels, who say they are fighting for the rights of marginalised indigenous people in India’s resource-rich central regions.
