| Eleven people including six policemen were hurt in separate incidents in Nepal involving the Maoists just days after the former rebels joined the political mainstream by entering parliament, officials said on Sunday. The policemen were wounded when 200 Maoists, carrying batons and stones, attacked a police post on Saturday, at Patabhar, 350 km southwest of the capital, Kathmandu. “Three of the wounded policemen have been rushed to a nearby hospital with head injuries,” district official Shiva Nepal said. “The Maoists ransacked the post, threw out belongings and utensils of the policemen before leaving the area,” he added. Maoist leaders were not immediately available for comment. |
