Relatives of the tribal militias killed in last week's Maoist attack cry at the cremation in Mangapeta village, about 450 km (279 miles) south from the central Indian city of Raipur March 18, 2007. Maoist rebels stormed a police camp in Chhattisgarh on Thursday, killing 55 members of the police and tribal militia in one of the deadliest attacks by the insurgents in years. Between 300 and 400 rebels attacked the camp, surrounded by dense forest in the southern part of the state, throwing grenades and petrol bombs and setting fire to it before escaping with a cache of arms and explosives.
