NEPAL: ARMY SEES MAOISTS HAND IN EXPLOSIONS, REPORT
The Nepal Army submitting an investigative report before the prime minister has concluded that the Maoists were involved in the Sunday’s Series of Explosions that rocked the capital city, Kathmandu. In the midst of the Maoists conducting activities to foil the November Polls, the Rajdhani Daily reports, citing a high placed Nepal Army Source, that there is no way any other group except the Maoists were involved in the explosion. The NA investigative team has also alleged the Maoists for disrupting polls by forwarding various demands such as declaring republic, complete proportional system and the amalgamation of the Militias into the National Army. The NA report also indicates the recent Maoists activities of attacking the leaders of the political parties aimed at disrupting their election campaign.
All the Maoists activities in the past have remained unsuccessful that were aimed at disrupting the CA elections thus this explosion has been strategically committed by the Maoists to foil the CA elections”, the report submitted by the NA to the PM after three days of the explosion emphasizes.
The Maoists, by first forwarding 22 point demands in what they call to create poll atmosphere and later allege the Nepal Army and the Royal Palace instantly for their involvement in such heinous acts is highly deplorable, says the report further, writes the Rajdhani weekly. The Maoists claims are thus self contradictory, adds the NA report.
The report also takes into account a statement made by the Maoists’ valley in charge Chandra Bahadur Thapa (Sagar) that “dynamite will explode frequently in the country now on words instead of petrol bombs if their 22 points demands were not met with”.

The report says, the explosions in Kathmandu took place only after the valley in charge made such remarks. The NA thus forwards “circumstantial” evidence.
After the explosions, the Maoists tilted media houses in Nepal thus carried the news as if the Nepal Army and the Royal Palace were behind the explosion, the report further adds.
The highly inflammable ingredients and the time-device used to manufacture the bombs hint that it has been assembled by expert hands, says the report further.
To explode such bombs, experts are required that the Maoists and the Terai outfits possess in abundance, the report adds.
Unless concrete evidence suggesting involvements of other groups are found, the Maoists always remain as a prime suspect, the report concludes.
