At least 27 people were killed after a convoy was ambushed by Maoist rebels. Among the dead were also congress members. Maoists triggered a landmine which fired at the vehicles. Authorities are calling this an attack on democracy. These Maoist rebels, known as Naxalites, have been fighting the government for decades, trying to gain land and jobs for the poor.
