7 policemen die in blast

By Our Special Correspondent

PATNA, OCT. 20 Seven police personnel were killed in a landmine blast, allegedly triggered by a gang at Jagpura in Danarua sub- division of Patna district today. The rebels blasted the police jeep which was on its way to Dhatmai outpost after information that it was being attacked by an armed group.

The ADGP (Patna zone) said that today's attack might be the handiwork of a break-away group of PWG led by one Yadav who was recently killed in a police encounter.
