30 killed in AP bus blast

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, Nov. 18. Thirty civilians were feared killed today when the People's War naxalites blasted an RTC bus assuming that policemen were travelling in it, near Chintaguda village near Eturnagaram in Warangal district. The PW attack is believed to be in retaliation to the killing of five of its cadres in an exchange of fire near Ilapuram village.

The bus from Tupakulagudem was blasted around 7.30 p.m., but the incident came to light only after the crew and some of the injured reached Eturnagaram in another bus around 10 p.m.

The police are yet to reach the scene of the incident which is situated in a thick forest.
