| KATHMANDU - At least two bombs exploded Monday outside a venue in Nepal's capital where politicians are set to meet later this week to abolish the Himalayan country's monarchy, police said. "Two explosions have occurred in front of the complex but there were no injuries," a police official, Durga Kumar, told AFP at the scene of the blasts. A previously unknown Hindu nationalist group, which identified itself as G.F.P. Ramdir Sena, left a leaflet at the scene claiming responsibility, the police officer said. Eyewitnesses said two men on a motorcycle threw the bombs before speeding off, and dozens of police were combing the area for clues. "There would have been injuries but they threw the bombs where there were no people," the police officer said. "The people who did this are trying to create panic." |
