| 2003-11-15 |
| A roadside bomb believed planted by Nepalese rebels killed a brigadier general and three soldiers Saturday, the defense ministry said. The roadside bomb option is becoming a recurring theme throughout the world. Brig. Gen. Sagar Pandey is the highest army officer to be killed by the rebels, who have been fighting since 1996 to end the monarchy in this Himalayan kingdom. Pandey and three soldiers riding in the same vehicle were killed near Bhaise, a town about 100 miles west of Katmandu, the ministry said. It gave no further details. Separately, gunmen on motorcycles shot and killed three policemen in a busy market in Nepalgunj, the main city in Nepal’s western region, the hardest hit by the insurgency. The attackers, thought to be rebels, fled on their vehicles, police said. The motorcycle attack another reccurrent tactic. |

| #1 Road side bomb.... are we talking about a mine? Or a bomb along side the road? Seems half the blast would be wasted if it was along side. Then again maybe they're focused. |
