Police: Suspected rebels kill 8 people in southern India

Suspected communist rebels
abducted 50 villagers on the pretext of settling a local
dispute and fatally shot eight of them in a remote forest
area in southern India, police said Tuesday.
The insurgents chopped off the hands and legs of the two
of those killed in Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh state
on Monday night, a police officer said on condition of
anonymity.
It was the first major attack on villagers in the area
since the insurgents abandoned peace talks with the state
government in October.
