| Eighteen Maoist rebels died in a fierce clash with the army a week ago, the Nepal army said Wednesday. A statement issued by the Royal Nepalese Army said 18 guerrillas who had fled to Salyan district in mid-western Nepal, following a 12-hour gun battle in another district, died of injuries. Their bodies were found The deaths come six days after the guerrillas attacked a security camp in Khara in Rukum district, considered the cradle of the nine-year-old insurgency that has left thousands dead. While security forces lost three men in trying to repulse the raid, the Maoists were said to have suffered punishing casualties. The army said it had recovered the bodies of 113 outlaws and later dug up nearly 30 more bodies from the surrounding forests. With the new toll from Salyan, the rebels seem to have lost over 160 of their men. Who sez there's no good news these days? These so called Maoists are lethal pests. |

| #2 So, to cover up the fact that they burying their dead to skew the body counts in their favor has now been uncovered, they'll screech about how terrible the RNA is in digging up their dead. Count on it... |

| #1 Dug up bodies? The trees will grow well this year, fertilized by prime grade maoists (higher in fertilizing components than normal bodies, y'know). Faster growing trees suck up more CO2, a big help for Nepal against their Kyoto quota. ;-) |
