[Assam] [News Alert] More than 20 dead after inhaling poisonous gas in Karbi Anglong

Sat Sep 20 17:16:54 PDT 2008

The heading of this mesasge "20 dead after inhaling poisonous gas in KA" is
a bit misleading. Shame on the media again!
"20 dead after attempted robbery of a goods train" would be more
appropriate.
They( the thugs ) deserve our sympathy, do they?
