SARDIHA, India (AP) — Suspected Maoist rebels derailed an overnight passenger train Friday in eastern India, triggering a crash with an oncoming cargo train that killed at least 65 people and injured 200 more, officials said.
Survivors described a night of screaming and chaos after the derailment and said it took rescuers more than three hours to reach the scene. The blue passenger train and the red cargo train were knotted together in mangled metal along a rural stretch of track near the small town of Sardiha, about 90 miles (150 kilometers) west of Calcutta.
Officials disagreed on the cause of the derailment, with some saying it was caused by an explosion but others blaming sabotaged rail lines. Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said in a statement that a section of the railway tracks had been cut, but "whether explosives were used is not yet clear."
Bhupinder Singh, the top police official in West Bengal state, said posters from the People's Committee Against Police Atrocities, a group local officials believe is closely tied to the Maoists, had been found at the scene taking responsibility for the attack. Sardiha is in West Bengal.
The area is an isolated, rural stronghold of India's Maoist rebels, known as Naxalites, who have stepped up attacks in recent months and had called for a four-day general strike starting Friday. Earlier this month, the rebels ambushed a bus in central India, killing 31 police officers and civilians.
Ladies and gentlemen; they are murdering people for the right to a get something for nothing. That, my friends, is your local neighborhood Bolshevik; apathetic, barbarous, envious, and filled with hatred for anyone who has the character to work hard for a living. I would like to offer my total sympathy for the Indian people, beset by both islam as well as a scourge of communists; both who feel they have the right to eradicate the lives of free and hard working people for their own personal gain. I hope and pray that the authorities hunt down and kill those responsible for this massacre; we are beyond political correct discourse and pleasantries when referring to how one deals with the communist. These animals are a cancer, a rot and must be utterly eradicated from the populace. I simply will not mince words or sugar coat my feelings for the left and their disastrous effects on society any longer. We must step up and take the war to them wherever we find them; for the more than 100,000,000 souls murdered in the last century by this twisted ideology, vengeance.
