Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Nepal on alert after 12 police die Sunday, January 15, 2006; Posted: 12:01 a.m. EST (05:01 GMT) KATHMANDU, Nepal (Reuters) -- Nepali troops were on high alert on Sunday after attacks around Kathmandu by Maoist rebels killed 12 policemen, an army officer said. On Saturday, heavily-armed guerrillas stormed a police post at Thankot, 10 km (6 miles) from Kathmandu, tossed a bomb and sprayed bullets from automatic rifles, killing 11 policemen. In the second attack near the temple town of Bhaktapur, also close to Kathmandu, one policeman was killed and at least eight wounded. Other blasts around the city caused no injuries. The attacks were the first near the high-security capital, home to 1.5 million people, since Maoist rebels ended their truce on Jan. 2 after the government refused to match it. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/01/14/nepal.rebels.reut/index.html Dasha: Me/Ju/Ve/Ra/Me satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
