Villagers in mid-western Nepal have
killed five suspected Maoists after rebels allegedly kidnapped a villager.
The killings of three women and
two men took place at Laxmanpur village in Banke district on Saturday.
Local people were reportedly tense
and carrying home-made weapons fearing retaliation from the Maoist insurgents.
There have been a number of similar
incidents in which villagers have attacked and killed Maoist rebels over
the past few weeks.
