Three Assam Rifles soldiers laid down their lives for the country in an ambush by militants at a district in Manipur near the border with Myanmar. Five others were injured; they are critical, sources said. A squad of 15 Assam Rifles soldiers were on an "area domination" patrol in Manipur's Chandel district on Wednesday evening when they came under attack by suspected militants of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), one of the several insurgent groups operating in the northeast state.
