The rebels killed at least seven policemen and injured eight others in a raid in western Nepal. "There will be discussions on getting India's cooperation to block all the support the Maoist terrorists are receiving from across the border" SB Deuba, Nepalese Prime Minister Mr Deuba is expected to seek India's support in tackling the Maoist insurgency which has claimed more than 3,000 lives in the past six years. Kathmandu believes that Maoist rebels manage to evade the authorities by fleeing into neighbouring India, which has an open border with Nepal. Maoist revolt The Nepalese premier told parliament, hours before leaving for Delhi, that Indian support was the key to fighting the Maoist rebels. During his visit he will meet India's top leaders including Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee. "There will also be discussions on getting India's cooperation to block all the support the Maoist terrorists are receiving from across the border," Mr Deuba said. The rebels allegedly use bases in northern and eastern Indian states, including Communist-ruled West Bengal, for shelter, training and procuring arms and ammunition. Several Indian states, including Bihar which borders Nepal, have a significant presence of ultra-left rebels. Correspondents point out that the West Bengal capital, Calcutta, has been included in the prime minister's itinerary for the first time in recent years and he is almost certain to take up the Maoist issue with Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharya. Floundering peace process The violence of the past months has rocked Nepal which declared a state of emergency to crack down on the rebels. Human rights organisations say they have begun fresh initiatives to bring the government and the rebels back to peace talks which last broke down four months ago. But there is no indication yet about an early resumption of dialogue, with the government insisting that the rebels must surrender first while the rebels refuse to oblige. _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
