BREAKING!! 14 KILLED, many injured at TERRORIST attack in northeastern India…

I’m seeing reports of a terrorist attack in Northeastern India – here’s the latest from social media:

From CNN:

At least 12 people were killed when assailants attacked a market in India’s Assam state Friday, authorities say.

In addition to the fatalities, 12 others were injured in the attack, according to P.K. Bhagwati, deputy police commander.

Three attackers opened fire at the market in Kokrajhar about 11 a.m. local time, authorities said. The army killed one of the assailants and authorities are looking for the other two, the official said.

The attackers are believed to be part of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland, a Christian separatist group that has been classified as a terror group by India, Bhagwati said.

A Christian separatist group! Well.. that’s unfortunate. I imagine that the media will love this one. I know from friends who lived in India that the country has recently turned very nationalistic and hostile to foreign groups and non-Hindu religious groups, so I’m not surprised that there would be such a conflict.

We’ll update as more information is available.
