16 cops, 7 Maoists dead in attack on cop shop
16 policemen have been killed in the bloodiest attack by Maoist rebels since Nepal's government declared a state of emergency late last year. Seven guerrillas also died in the three-hour battle after the Maoists attacked a police post at Bhakundabesi in Kabhre district, 120 kilometres (75 miles) east of Kathmandu.
A timely reminder that the love of death and destruction in the pursuit of "armed struggle" isn't confined to Muslims.
