MAOIST rebels killed at least nine policemen and one civilian today when they ambushed a police patrol.
The policemen were attacked while on patrol near the village of Barpak in the Gorkha district, 75 miles west of Karmandu.

Last week 164 people were killed in a series of attacks by 5,000 guerrillas throughout the Himalayan kingdom.

They stepped up their attacks after walking out of the peace talks last year.

Govt. offices attacked in capital, damage vehicles
KOL Report
KATHMANDU, April 16 – Maoist terrorists have attacked around half a dozen government offices in the capital Tuesday morning causing damages to offices and vehicles. Terrorists dressed in battle fatigues also hurled petrol bombs at the office of the Dairy Development Corporation (DDC) at Lainchour located nearby the western side of the Royal Palace.
Our correspondent with Kantipur Daily, Jitendra Shah, reports that a group of Maoists first held the guards of the DDC at gunpoint and then hurled petrol bombs and smeared petrol before setting the area on fire. The incident took place at around 4:45 a.m. and lasted less than 15 minutes before the terrorists escaped after damaging four vehicles, our correspondent quotes the guards as saying.
Maoists also hurled petrol bombs and damaged another vehicle the office of the Department of Prison Management in New Baneshwore. Similar attacks were also made upon Department of Widths and Measurement in Baneshwore, Department of Roads Office in Teku, Nepal Telecommunications Office in Teku, Export Management Office in Babarmahal and Labour Court in Sanogaucharan.
This is the first time that the Maoists have gone on a terror spree at around the same time in various places within the Valley.
Meanwhile, Maoists have also damaged Agricultural Research Center Office inflicting heavy losses at Limbugaon of Narayan Municipality in Dailekh district, our correspondent Harihar Singh Rathore reports. Similarly, our Biratnagar correspondent, Bikash Thapa, reports that the Maoists have damaged total 32 VDC buildings in Taplejung district so far. (sjs)
The real enemy is the Illuminati.
The feudal monarchy has no legitimacy in Nepal. They are resorting to tales of atrocities to make the rebels seem unspeakably evil. Since the monarchy is totally corrupt and came to power in a palace coup/bloodbath under pretty dubious circumstances, they will have to make the rebels out to be monsters in order to gain any sympathy.
The rebels, by all accounts of those who've dealt with them, are humanistic, democratic and highly idealistic. Current Nepali censorship officially forbids any sympathetic news about the rebels, any interviews, any discussion of non-miliatry aspects of the Maoists, any reporting of government defeats and indeed, any free discussion at all.
Whoever is posting these snippets is doing a great job. But just remember, this is all filtered through the censorship of a fucking monarchy backed by the CIA. US Secretary of State Powell has already pledged support to the backwards government and is hard at work planting disinformation.
