RAIPUR: Maoists on Tuesday triggered a landmine blast targeting a truck which was carrying about 100 people in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, official sources said.
About 100 villagers were coming from Errapore to Konta when the Maoists triggered a landmine blast on the vehicle near Darphaguda, about 500 km from here, the sources said.
Superintendent of Police (Dantewada) Praveer Das said Naxalites have also opened fire on the police parties who were trying to reach the spot.
"Police have not yet reached the spot and it is difficult to say about the condition of the travellers. But all of them were returning back after attending an anti-Naxal meet at Dornapal of the district," he said.

The article claims that the Maoists killed at least 100 villagers...Does any one buy that? Why or why not?
