An Indian farmer transports dead bodies of Supriya Jana and Ratan Das, who were killed by police on Wednesday, in Sonachura, a small village in Nandigram, 150 km (90 miles) southwest of Kolkata, March 16, 2007. More than 1,600 people were arrested in India's West Bengal state on Friday as opposition workers and police clashed during a strike to protest the killing of 14 villagers opposed to a planned industrial hub. Many strikers blame Wednesday's killings at Nandigram on the state government.
