| PATNA, India – Maoist rebels launched a series of devastating attacks Tuesday on government forces patrolling the forests of eastern India, killing at least 75 troops in the deadliest strike against the state in the 43-year insurgency. The attack, which came amid a major Indian offensive aimed at crushing the Maoists, also known as Naxalites, fueled concerns the government is sending poorly trained forces to the front lines to battle the raging insurgency. |

| #1 Some of these paramilitary police are quite poorly equipped. The ones killed last month had no defensive perimeters at their camp and were caught making dinner. |
