India's army moved in to stop armed clashes over land between settlers and local villagers that have killed at least 11 people in India's remote northeast over the past two days, police said Sunday. Two days of battles between the ethnic Bodo community and Muslim settlers also injured at least 10 people in Kokrajhar district, nearly 250 kilometers (155 miles) west of Gauhati, the state capital, said S.N. Singh, a police inspector-general. The clashes in Assam state began Friday after assailants killed one person. As the violence spread to more than half a dozen villages in the region, nearly 7,000 people fled their homes and took refuge in state-run relief camps, Singh told The Associated Press on Sunday. State authorities called in the army and imposed a night curfew in the region on Saturday to quell violence. No fresh clashes have been reported since Saturday night.
