Curfew in Indian state after tribal militants kill 48
India imposed a curfew in parts of the northeastern state of Assam on Wednesday after suspected tribal guerrillas killed 48 people in a series of attacks in retaliation for an offensive against them.
Villagers told police the rebels came on foot, armed with assault rifles and wearing military uniforms.
"The militants first came and asked for water. Suddenly they opened fire with their AK-47 rifles," a witness, who fled into jungle, later told reporters.
"They didn't even spare women and children," said a police officer, adding there were at least 10 women among the dead in Tuesday's violence. At least 13 children were killed.
