DHAKA - At least six tribal activists were shot dead on Tuesday in an ambush by a rival group in Bangladesh's restive Chittagong Hill Tracts, where scores have died in an insurgency in recent years, police said.

The splinter group's district head was among the dead and three other people were critically wounded, Bandarban police deputy head S.M. Mobassher Hossain told AFP. It fought a battle with government forces that claimed about 2,500 lives in the area from the early 1980s until a peace treaty was signed in 1997.
