Rebels kill 3 Indian army soldiers in troubled northeast
Rebels ambushed two Indian army vehicles early Saturday and killed at least three soldiers and critically wounded four others in the country's remote northeast, police said.
The attack took place in a forest area near Pengeri, a town 600 kilometers (400 miles) east of Gauhati, the Assam state capital, said police officer Mukesh Aggarwal.
The rebels used homemade bombs to stop an army jeep and a truck and attacked the soldiers with rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47 assault rifles, he said. A helicopter evacuated the four wounded soldiers to a nearby army hospital.
