Maoists take Dashain break

KATHMANDU, Oct 3 (PR)- Maoists today declared that they would suspend attacks beginning tomorrow for five days of Dashain festival after they killed 22 policemen in separate raids in Dunai and Bhorletar last week.

"We have suspended our attacks from Fulpati to Dashami," a press statement signed by Prachanda, the general secretary of Communist Party (Maoist) said.

The underground party waging a guerrilla warfare for the last four and half years also said it would take active defensive actions against probable attacks from the government forces.
