An American is believed to have been killed by an isolated Indian island tribe that is known to fire at outsiders with bows and arrows, police said Wednesday.
Police officer Vijay Singh said the killing apparently occurred on North Sentinel Island, part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The Sentinelese people who live there on are known to resist all contact with outsiders, often attacking anyone who comes near.

As soon as he set foot on the island, Mr Chau found himself facing a flurry of arrows, official sources told AFP.
Han var för övrigt missionär och ville predika evangelium för hedningarna.
