The CPI-Maoist today warned of more Dantewada-type attacks on security forces if the Centre carried on with the anti-Maoist offensive even as it expressed sympathy for the families of the 76 jawans killed and offered compensation.

In a letter faxed to media houses here, the banned organisation said it would carry out more attacks similar to Dantewada and asked the security forces not to take part in operations directed against it.

"Else the consequences will be bad for them," the letter warned.

The CPI-Maoist expressed sympathy for the aggrieved families of the deceased and said it was ready to compensate them.

"We also want people to come out and offer financial aid to them."

The Maoists also asked people to support their fight and stop acting as 'informers' to the security forces.
