Chief Maoist negotiator for the peace talks with the government Krishna Bahadur Mahara said, "The attacks were carried out by America�s own citizens, who were not satisfied with its rulers." Mahara who is a politburo member of his party also labelled the USA as the "world�s biggest terrorist." "The US has itself indulged in killing the people of poor countries, labelling them as terrorists," Mahara said in a Maoist mass meet organised in the historic Patan Durbar Square by its seven sister organisations amid tight security by the Maoists� security squad. He also blamed the US of sponsoring terrorists all over the world. This is the first comment from the Maoists on the terror attacks in the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York and Pentagon in Washington. Speaking on the same occasion, another Maoist negotiator Agni Prasad Sapkota said USA�s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was the most infamous criminal organisation of the world. "The CIA is the world�s most infamous criminal organisation," Sapkota said. He also accused the CIA, along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and India�s intelligent agency - Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), of designing a master-plan to suppress the Maoist�s "People�s War." "This trio is also responsible for wiping out the entire family of King Birendra on the fateful night of June 1," he added. The mass meet was jointly organised by sister organisations of the Maoist party - All Nepal National Independent Students� Union - Revolutionary, All Nepal Women�s Organisation -Revolutionary, All Nepal Peasants� Organisation, Dalit Liberation Front, Newa Khala, Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions and Tamang National Liberation Front. Both the leaders also came down heavily against the government for deciding to provide Nepal�s airspace and land to the US warplanes, for the probable attacks against Afghanistan. Lawmaker of United People�s Front Lilamani Pokharel, who was invited as a guest to address the mass meet, echoed the Maoist�s voice. "The US attacks is a step taken against the capitalism and imperialism sponsored by the US," said Pokharel. He also blamed the Bush administration for labelling everyone opposing the US "a terrorist". "If the US has the right to strike in Afghanistan, the terrorists too have the right to attack the US." Maoist leader Mahara also warned the government not to try to bring the Maoists within the constitutional framework through the peace talks. "The exit of the present crisis in Nepal is the establishment of a republican state," he said. Mahara also blamed the government of trying to jeopardise the environment of talks by massively mobilising the army in different parts of the country and by not fulfilling their minimum demands. "However, we are committed in solving the problem through dialogue," said Mahara. _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
