'Schoolboys kidnapped'

Kathmandu Dec. 23. Armed Maoist rebels in Nepal on Saturday kidnapped 45 boys from a school that stayed open during a strike called by supporters of the guerrillas, a newspaper reported today.

The Nepali-language daily Sandhyakalin said three gun-wielding Maoists barged into the secondary boys school in the remote town of Lekgaon in Surkhet district and took the students away.

However, the Home Ministry spokesman, Gopendra Bahadur Pandey, said he did not receive any news about the incident.
