Genau genommen ein altes Thema, aber eben eines, das nie wirklich "weg" oder besiegt gewesen wäre. Es ist nur in den letzten Jahren, als islamistischer Terror auch in Indien die Schlagzeilen prägte, etwas in den medialen Hintergrund gerückt...

Indian police kill 26 Maoist militants, including a senior leader

MumbaiPolice in India's western state of Maharashtra have killed at least 26 Maoist militants, including a top leader, in an ambush operation in dense forest, a top government official said on Sunday. The Maoists, also known as Naxals, have waged an armed struggle against government forces for decades. Militants of the extreme left-wing insurgent movement say they are fighting for the poor who have been left behind in India's economic boom.

"26 Naxals, including six women were killed in Gadchiroli district. Milind Teltumbde, a central committee member, was also killed on Saturday," Dilip Valse Patil, Maharashtra's Home Minister told reporters. Saturday's operation took place in Gadchiroli district, on the border between Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh states, around 1,000 km (600 miles) east of Mumbai. The encounter between police and militants lasted for nearly ten hours, said Ankit Goyal, Gadchiroli's Superintendent of Police. [...] The Maoists, considered India's biggest internal security threat, operate in mineral-rich territory in the east and south of the country known as the "red corridor," which has shrunk in recent years because of heavy operations against them.
