Asia Times Online :: South Asia news, business and economy from India and Pakistan: "The murder by Naxalite insurgents of 35 civilians and police in a landmine attack on a bus in the eastern Indian state of Chhattisgarh on Monday, a month after another attack killed at least 75 policemen, barely registered among investors seeking to tap into the country's burgeoning economy.
That is a luxury that may not last. Such attacks by the rebellious Maoists have already prompted delays in multi-billion dollar industrial projects, and with Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee seeking to deliver annual economic growth of up to 10% over the next decade, the importance of the backward but resource-rich area that is home to Naxalite insurgencies will grow in harness with economic expansion."
