Rebels gun down 4 more migrants in Assam
Afp, Guwahati
Suspected separatists in northeastern Assam state shot dead four migrants early yesterday raising the toll from a string of such attacks ahead of India's Independence Day this week to 34, police said. Six armed militants attacked sleeping villagers in an eastern district of restive Assam, where as many as 30 rebel groups have been fighting for demands ranging from secession to greater autonomy for decades. "The militants dragged out members of two families and shot at them from close range using automatic weapons," said police official Lajja Ram Bishnoi in Karbi Anglong district, 270km east of Assam's main city Guwahati.
