A wii-fi network named “Maoist Terrorist Network” prompted a security scare on Sunday at Lazimpaat near the lavish residence of Puspa Kamal Dahal (Prachanda).
When a student from nearby school Hardik Dixit was having tea at the local tea store run by Dil Maya and her daughter Chiri Maya, who had migrated to Kathmandu from Pyuthaan, Hardik Dixit tried to see if any free wifi network was available. Upon viewing the list, he was shocked to find a network named "Maoist Terrorist Network".
"When you see any Terrorist Network roaming freely in public places, it is the duty of the citizen to report it to the police." he later told reporters. "The situation in Nepal has finally calmed down after years of turbulence and I was not ready to see any terrorist networks in the vicinity again."
He quickly dialed 911 to report the terrorist network to the police, who arrived at the scene quickly along with an ambulance and a fire engine. When the police used the triangulation method to determine the location of the wifi, the source seemed to keep on changing. Since they were baffled, they had to call in experts from the US Embassy to identify the source. At the end they were able to pinpoint the source to be an old iphone with cracked screen that was tied to a tail of a stray dog. The dog has been taken into custody and shipped over to Guantanamo Bay to be questioned by US specialists. Nepal government has pleaded the US counterparts to not use waterboarding during questioning for fear of rioting in Nepal since dogs are considered holy at least one day in a year.
Maoist leader Prachana and Baburam released a combined press release stating "Even United States has removed the Maoist from the Terrorist list so it does not make sense for us to be referred to as a Terrorist Network anymore. We are just another network. भन्न पायो भन्दै मा जे पायो त्येही भन्न त भएन नि|"
The CEO of Nepal ISP Sambhu Rajbhandari revealed that currently there are over 250 free wifi networks in the capital and that the Council of ISP's will meet to discuss ways of stopping users from naming their wifi to anything they want.
Another crisis averted in the capital. Reporting live from Lazimpaat, Kathmandu, Nepal.
