Nepalese Justice

In the words of Darth Vader, "Impressive... Most impressive."

KATHMANDU, Nepal (CNN) -- More than 500 Maoists attacked an army outpost in western Nepal, sparking a fierce clash that left at least 30 rebels dead and 150 others injured, a Royal Nepal Army official said.

The attack early Wednesday took place in Masuria in the western Kailali district.

"The army has recovered the bodies of 30 rebels while scores of remaining bodies were carried away by their comrades," the official said.

He believes that the Maoist casualties could rise above 100, possibly as high as 150.

He said none of the security forces were killed in the attack. Eight sustained injuries in the clashes.

The money shot?

The Maoists are fighting to establish a community republic in Nepal, which is a constitutional monarchy.

Maoists are fighting to establish some sort of republic? Bolshevik.

Haven't these guys ever heard of the Ghurkas?
