HeadlineFeb 08, 2005

In Nepal, military troops have attacked Maoist rebel camps in the jungles in a new offensive that began after the Nepali king seized power last week. Reuters reports dozens of rebels may have been killed. Last week Nepali King Gyanendra sacked the entire government and suspended all civil rights including the right of the press to criticize the government. Since then hundreds of political leaders, activists, journalists and human rights workers have been arrested around the country.
