520 Yesterday Nepal's Maoists declared war on a hardline breakaway group called the Janatanrik Terai Liberation Front (or variations of that name). There has been a fued between the two groups for a while, but the JTLF have refused to be coaxed back into the Maoist fold and a few days ago a JTLF member was killed, allegedly by a Maoist soldier. The overall 'cease fire' between the Seven Party Alliance (gov't) and the Maoists still stands. For now. I'm off to check out the situation. Anyone interested in photos or a story, try your luck with Nepal's mobile coverage on +977 9803192062, or else I'll post an update if I return with anything interesting. 2 2006-07-18T10:34:50Z 0 2008-03-12T12:54:43Z true 7075 false 9853 2006-09-12T06:42:44Z Kathmandu true false new_mini_war_in_nepal 1 2008-03-12T12:54:43Z 9853
