Naxals grow bolder, blow up school in Bihar

Naxals on Saturday destroyed a government school in Jamui district of Bihar where, just a few days ago, they had attacked the Dhanbad-Patna intercity train, killing three people. 

"About four dozen armed guerrillas surrounded and blew up the middle school in Bhulsumia village under Charka-Pathar police station in Jamui," a district police official said.

According to police officials, naxalites used dynamite to blow up the building. 

Police officials said the school was targeted to retaliate against the combing operations launched by security men in the area since the attack on the train.
