In Nepal, Maoists on Saturday clashed with riot police after the former rebels obstructed trucks transporting arms and ammunitions on the outskirts of the capital, Kathmandu. They claimed that it was a violation of the 2006 peace accord. Half a dozen Maoist cadres were injured when the riot police baton charged the protesters who obstructed two trucks of the paramilitary Armed Police Force carrying arms and ammunitions at Naubise, 45-km west of the capital. The Maoists claimed that the government had imported weapons from India in violation of the 2006 Comprehensive Peace Accord with the former rebels that ended the decade-long civil war. Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal dismissed the Maoists' allegation, saying that the arms and ammunitions were brought under regular process for training purposes. He pointed out that under the peace accord while the Nepal Army is not allowed to import weapons, other security agencies can bring such items. Home Minister Bhim Rawal said, the Maoists' acts were aimed at creating anarchy in the country and disturbing peace.
