On receiving intelligence on a gathering
on Maoist terrorists in Central Nepal,
in a move to avenge the murder of 13
of their colleagues, the Royal Nepal
Army (RNA) launched a surprising
attack killing more than 20
terrorists. While Maoists may have
lost in this operation, they are
gaining the upper hand in many other
places.
With the political parties succumbing to
American pressure not to support the
terrorist group's call to blockade the
Katmandu Valley, the Maoists gave up
that plan but attacked a RNA patrol
killing 13 soldiers. They also
attacked security posts, looting
banks, and patrols bringing the number
of kills to a steady trickle. The
strategy is to bring the number of
soldiers killed to a steady trickle
and chip away at the morale and strike
capability of the RNA.
