KOLKATA, India (AFP) - – Maoist rebels killed four paramilitary police Wednesday in a landmine attack in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal, police officials said.
 
The attack came two days after the left-wing guerrillas blew up a bus carrying police and civilians in central India, killing 35 people and triggering a review of the government's counter-insurgency strategy.
 
West Bengal police Inspector General Surojit Purokaystha told AFP that the Maoists had set off the landmine under a jeep carrying six members of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on a routine patrol.
 
"Four of them were killed and the other two badly injured," Purokaystha said.
 
The Maoists have stepped up attacks in response to a government offensive that began late last year in the forests of the so-called "Red Corridor" that stretches across north and eastern India.
 
The insurgency began in the state of West Bengal in 1967 in the name of defending the rights of tribal groups, and has since spread to 20 of India's 28 states.
 
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has labelled the Maoist movement the biggest internal security threat to India.
