Patna: About a dozen lives were lost at Narkopi village of Ranchi district of south Bihar in a class war having communal overtones.  The activists of the outlawed Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) attacked the village market on 13 September and killed seven Muslims.  According to reports the attackers indulged in selective killing only after identifying them.  It is reported that they came in search of the leader and activists of Ali Sena, the peasant organization formed to combat the MCC.  However, it could not yet be known whether they managed to eliminate its leaders or killed innocent Muslims only.  Muslims quickly retaliated.  Once the attackers fled, they organized themselves and gave a hot chase and killed three of the extremists.  All of them were tribals.  This not the first time when the MCC has targeted the Muslims in the area.  Nine Muslims were killed in similar fashion by the MCC at Lota village in Palamu district.  What is strange is that though there are several ultra left outfits active in the area, it is only the MCC which is at loggerheads with the Muslims.  The first such attack on Muslims by this outfit took place in jungles of Gaya district in 1989.  Initially they targeted only landlords from Pathan, following which Sunlight Sena was formed.  In this process the MCC has lost the support of poor Muslims and has turned to be communal.  After last year's Lota carnage there were several news reports in newspapers regarding its close links with the RSS.  Gradually this left out fit has turned right.
