RAIPUR, India (AFP) – At least 35 people were killed after Maoist rebels blew up a bus carrying police and civilians in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh on Monday, an official said.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh told reporters in the state capital Raipur that the dead included 11 police personnel.

“Twenty-four civilians and 11 policemen have died and 15 persons including 14 police personnel were injured in the blast,” Singh said.

The chief minister said an unspecified number of bodies were still trapped in the mangled bus in the state’s insurgency-riven Dantewada district where the landmine attack occurred.
