Security forces have halted all security operations in four eastern districts following a request by theInternational Committee of Red Cross (ICRC).

Maoists rebels have launched a major offensive against security forces west of Pokhara. Security forces had sustained "heavy casualties" in the overnight violence in Beni, the district headquarters of Myagdi. Both Maoist and Army claimed that its forces were victorious in one of the haviest battle since the insurgency was launched in 1996.

Across the villages of Achham, Kalikot and Bajura in the Maoist-controlled heartland of mid-western Nepal, it is election time this month. The Maoists are filling the vacuum left after the Deuba government declined to extend the terms of elected local councils two-and-a-half years ago.

To counter the government move to nominate VDC members, they are conducting their own elections for village and district "people's governments". Sixty-two of the 75 VDCs in Achham have held elections, of which 23 polls were held with votes being cast, in 30 the Maoists won unanimously, and in eight villages, local representatives were appointed by the Maoist party. In Kalikot to the north, independent candidates have won some positions in four village-level elections while the Maoists have swept all positions in 13 of the VDCs. The Maoists have their own election commission which drafted guildelines for the polls.

More than 120 people have been killed in two separate but simultaneous attacks by Maoist rebels on government installations in western Nepal. The rebels raided the district headquarters, Mangalsen, district headquarters of the remote hill district of Achham (420 kms northwest of Kathmandu), and an airstrip in nearby Sanfebagar at about midnight. The victims of the raids on Mangalsen and the nearby airstrip included police officers, soldiers and local government officials. The rebels mounted attacks on an airport, government buildings, a military barracks and an armoury. Buildings were blown up and banks were looted. Gun battles between rebels and the security forces went on for many hours from midnight until well after dawn. It has been a deceptive and dastardly attack on a small security force by a big Maoist group, officials said. Maoists also torched a bus travelling to Kathmandu from Gaur after forcing passengers out of the vehicle.The rebels fled after the army arrived. Smoke was seen drifting around the scene of the daring attacks for a long time afterwards. The scale and ferocity of the attacks go beyond anything the rebels have carried out previously in six years of conflict. It was the bloodiest offensive launched by Maoist militants since they abandoned peace talks last year and a state of emergency was declared in the country last November. Rebels have intensified their nation-wide attacks as parliament begins a debate on the extension of the emergency earlier this week.
