| Count of dead Reds in Nepal up to 560... |
| 2002-05-06 |
| Army helicopters killed more than 200 rebels in airstrikes on guerrilla strongholds in western Nepal, government officials said Monday, a day before Nepal's prime minister was to meet President Bush to discuss the communist insurgency. The deaths raised the claimed toll to more than 560 in four days of fighting — the deadliest violence since the rebels began their struggle to topple the constitutional monarchy six years ago. Either the numbers are exaggerated or the Nepalis have gotten ahold of some good intel and disposed of a few leakers. |
