NEW DELHI, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- India says Bihar state has become the favorite target for Maoist rebels who carried out 14 attacks there over the past six months.
A spokesman for Bihar police said Maoists attacked trains four times and conducted several strikes against soft targets; they also undertook a major operation against police in Rishikund in which many special auxiliary police personnel were killed.
In the latest development, armed guerrillas blew up a forest department rest house Tuesday, the spokesman said.
According to state police, the hilly terrain covering Maoist-hit states of Jharkhand and West Bengal and the river line provide the perfect shelter to the rebels, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.
