THIRTEEN civilians have been killed in a landmine blast carried out by suspected Maoists in the central Indian state of Chattisgarh, while four others were seriously injured in the blast, which took place in the state's Kanker district.
District police chief Pradeep Gupta said the rebels blew up a jeep carrying a group of traders late on Friday.
Thousands have died in Maoist campaigns across central and southern India in the past 30 years.
The latest attack took place when traders were returning from a weekly trade fair in a local village.
