Ahmedabad, India (Reuters) - Police fired at a stone-
throwing crowd of people demanding food and medicine in
eastern India as large parts of the flood-hit nation
braced for more monsoon rains, officials said on
Thursday.
A man died and two women were wounded in the police
firing late on Wednesday on a 5,000-strong crowd, which
gathered outside a government office near Patna, the
capital of Bihar state, expecting food to be distributed
to flood victims.
"When the crowd realized that no relief was to be
distributed, they attacked the office and stoned the
police station," K. A. H. Subramanian, chief secretary of
Bihar, one of India's poorest and most lawless states
said.
More than 1,600 people have been killed in South Asia,
most of them in Bangladesh and eastern India, in several
weeks of torrential monsoon rains in one of the world's
most densely populated regions.

The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not so send peace, but a sword.
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his
father, and the daughter against her mother, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own
household.
