Fresh trouble in mountain kingdom
Maoist rebels in Nepal are believed to have killed four policemen and injured 13 more in an attack that confirms a return to violence and bloodshed in the mountain kingdom.
As reported, the Maoist rebels have been fighting an eight-year battle to replace the country’s monarchy with a communist system – and despite a seven-month ceasefire earlier this year, more than 200 people are believed to have been killed since the truce was broken in August.
The BBC News website reports that the attack, which took place on Monday, was in the town of Katariya, in the south-east of the country. While visitors to Nepal are not being targeted specifically, anyone heading to the country should be aware of the current political situation.
Advice on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website states: “There have been armed clashes between Maoists and the security forces as well as a series of bomb attacks in Kathmandu and the Kathmandu valley. You should be aware of the risk of indiscriminate attacks by terrorists in public places, including tourist sites.”
