13 killed in Tripura ambush

AGARTALA, MARCH 3. Eleven 11 CRPF jawans and two civilians were killed and three critically injured in an ambush by suspected All-Tripura Tiger Force militants at Bampur in south Tripura district today.

The remaining members of the CRPF convoy retaliated but it was not known whether there was any casualty among the militants, who decamped with one light machine gun, four self- loading rifles and four carbines.

The Inspector General of Police, Mr. Selim Ali, and the Additional Director General of CRPF, Mr. G. Jha, rushed to the spot with a contingent of the CRPF, Assam Rifles and Tripura State Rifles jawans to launch combing operations.
