Suspected rebels kill 28, wound 24 in east India
→ NewsOK.com RSS - home | 26 May 2013 | 2:02 am MDT
NEW DELHI (AP) — Officials reacted with outrage Sunday to an audacious attack by about 200 suspected Maoist rebels who set off a roadside bomb and opened fire on a convoy carrying Indian ruling Congress party leaders and members in an eastern state, killing 28 people and wounding 24 others.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, accompanied by party President Sonia Gandhi, visited the injured in a hospital in the capital of Chhattisgarh state and said the government would take firm action against the perpetrators.
"We are devastated," said Gandhi, who denounced what she called a "dastardly attack" on the country's democratic values.
Rajnath Singh, president of opposition Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, said the country should unite in its fight against the Maoist insurgency.
The convoy was attacked Saturday in a densely forested area about 215 miles (345 kilometers) south of Raipur, Chhattisgarh's capital, as the Congress members were returning from a party rally.
Four state party leaders and five police officers were among those killed.

Accused rapist Andre Holmes has been locked up in the Cook County Jail for more than a decade — and he is still waiting to go to trial.

Those figures suggest the wheels of justice continue to grind slowly in Cook County’s criminal courts.

CHICAGO (AP) — Jake Peavy got some help from Conor Gillaspie in finishing off the Miami Marlins.
Gillaspie hit a run-scoring single in the ninth inning, lifting the White Sox to a 2-1 win over the Marlins on Saturday night.
Peavy (6-2) struck out five and allowed six hits in a complete game, but Derek Dietrich homered with one out in the ninth to tie the game and spoil the shutout bid.
That didn't stop the White Sox, who have won eight of 11 and, at 23-24, are their closest to .500 since April 17 when they were 7-8.
"For us to come back and win in the (ninth) was special," Peavy said.
