An improvised explosive device (IED) planted by the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants blew up a requisitioned police convoy at Suraj Nagar under Tengakhat police station in the Dibrugarh district on December 8-afternoon, killing four police personnel and the civilian driver, reports Sentinel.

At least 25 tribals were killed and 40 others sustained injuries in a landmine blast triggered by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres near Eklagoda village, in the jurisdiction of Arabore police station of Dantewada district on February 28. However, there has been no official confirmation on the fatalities so far. Unofficial reports indicate that over 50 persons were killed in the attack. Telegraph reports that more than 200 tribals were returning from an anti-Maoist Salwa Judum meeting in two trucks and a bus when the Maoists detonated a landmine, blowing up one of the vehicles. Director-General of Police, O.P. Rathore, said the victims, mostly tribals, were returning home after attending a Salwa Judum meeting. As their convoy approached Eklagoda around 11.30 a.m., the Maoists exploded the landmine and subsequently opened fire on two other vehicles and reportedly abducted nearly 120 villagers. Chief minister Raman Singh said the Maoists have entered Orissa along with their hostages after crossing the Sabri river. He added that "the security personnel and villagers attending the Salwa Judum meetings had been strictly ordered to travel only by foot," he said, adding that the size of the group could have forced the villagers to opt for heavy vehicles. The anti-Maoist campaign, the Chief Minister added, would continue despite the attack. "The government will redesign the strategy and give a new direction to the campaign," he observed, describing the act as "desperate and cowardly".

Three terrorists were shot dead on June 1-morning during an abortive attempt to storm the headquarters of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing Hindu organization, at Nagpur in Maharashtra. Police said the terrorists, suspected to be from the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), attempted to drive a white Ambassador car, fitted with a red command-light, towards the building shortly before dawn. When guards at the perimeter of the three-level security cordon flagged down the car, its driver attempted to crash through the barriers. RSS chief K.S. Sudarshan and other top functionaries were not present in the building at the time of the attack, according to The Hindu. The Mumbai-based Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) had information about the attack on the RSS headquarters in Nagpur and tipped off the Nagpur police about the same, which helped foil the attack, Times of India reported. ATS chief, Inspector-General of Police, K. P. Raghuvanshi, said, "We informed the Nagpur police." Deputy Chief Minister R. R. Patil told reporters that security at the RSS premises was then beefed up and RSS functionaries were warned about a possible attack. Meanwhile, intelligence sources in New Delhi reportedly said all three terrorists were thought to be Pakistani nationals, although no detail of their identities was available. "We had reason to believe that an operation of this kind was being planned and asked the Nagpur police to be prepared," an unnamed senior official said.
