Rebels try to kill Manipur CM, but fail
Separatist militants attacked a convoy in which the chief minister of Manipur was travelling yesterday but he was not wounded, police said.
The attack on Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh by rebels firing from automatic weapons took place at Wiakhong in Thoubal district, some 55 km west of Imphal, the state capital.
Police suspect rebels of the outlawed People's Liberation Army (PLA) were responsible. The attackers fired at Singh's car from a vehicle that was travelling in the opposite direction.
