HYDERABAD, India: Two more suspected Maoists were killed by police in Warangal district yesterday as a bus was set afire by the extremists in Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh. The Maoists also gave a call for a general strike today in the extremist-infested districts. Warangal Superintendent of Police Stephen Ravindra said a police party was on its way from Rampur to Komaram on routine patrol when it encountered a group of Maoists. The rebels opened fire when asked to surrender. Police killed two of them while the rest fled. Police retrieved two weapons, a generator, computer-related accessories and wireless communication sets. In Kurnool district, Maoists burned down a state-owned bus in the evening. Five armed men stopped the bus at Berluti village. After forcing the passengers to disembark, they set the bus alight.
