Hundreds killed in Nepal battle
It happened when rebels swarmed into Beni, a mountain town 175 miles west of capital Katmandu and fought with security forces for nearly 12 hours before being chased away by reinforcements.
The rebels attacked the town’s jail, bombed the district administration office and set fire to the police station. They also attacked an army camp, Royal Nepalese Army spokesman Col Deepak Gurung said.
