Nine killed in Nepal


Police in Nepal say they have shot dead nine suspected Maoist rebels, including two women, in a clash in the western district of Gorkha.

The police also say they recovered some home-made weapons.

More than four-hundred-and-fifty people have died since the rebels started their campaign three years ago to install a communist republic.
