A Communist militia shot to death 35 people at close range in a revenge attack on Senari, an eastern Indian village, police said. Residents of the village who were rounded up and shot were believed to have links with a militia connected to the upper classes, officials said. The militia has killed at least 33 Dalits--people from the lowest caste--in the past six weeks.
