Seven killed in Nepal attacks NEPAL, Thursday (AFP) 7Seven soldiers and police were killed in Maoist attacks in Nepal as the military tried in vain Wednesday to end a two-day-old transport strike called by the rebels in the west of the kingdom, officials said. Suspected guerrillas Wednesday gunned down three policemen standing guard in the heart of Nepalgunj, a southwest town on the Indian border near Maoist-controlled areas, a police official said. He said the assailants had disappeared by the time reinforcements arrived. Separately late Tuesday, four soldiers were killed and seven others injured when their patrol went over a landmine in the western Kaski district, a security official said. |
