| [DAWN] Four men died and seven were maimed on Sunday in three separate kabooms in Kathmandu, Nepali police said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but police said they suspect the involvement of a Maoist splinter group whose pamphlets were found in a house where one of the kabooms took place. A powerful blast inside a shop killed three people and injured four, while the kaboom at a home about four kilometres away left one dead and another injured. Two more were maimed when an explosive they were carrying on a cycle of violence on the outskirts of Kathmandu went kaboom!. Security personnel also defused explosives in other areas. "We are investigating all incidents and have stepped up the security," police front man Bishwa Raj Pokharel told AFP. Pokharel said that seven people have been tossed in the slammer Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! so far. The incidents come on the eve of a nationwide strike called by the same Maoist splinter group, protesting death of their cadre in a police encounter over a week ago. |
